    I'M RICH !!!!!!

    Bet you can't guess where most of this is going.......maybe in a year or two.

    It's ridiculous and Colin is right. Just by varnish instead.

    Cheers

        I sold a bottle last year for about £28 - I've still got 2/3rd or a bottle and a bottle of the new formulation (£2.99) which seems to work well enough

          Steve, you have one more bottle than me ! £23.99 was the final price, but now I'm wondering, has someone discovered another use for Klear ?

          Andrew, you've set the bar at £28.00, Has anyone heard of a higher price for a bottle of Klear ?

              No they changed the formulation so you can't get this variety in the shops now. There is a new formulation but its milkier however it is supposed to dry clear like the old one does. I have a bottle of it but haven't used it yet...

                  Two bottles would last me at least 10 years. I've just started one of the bottles in my piccy and I know I started the previous one in 2007! I also remember spilling some of it. I make relatively large models too.

                  Cheers

                    I have 2 full bottles and i wouldnt sell them for anything.

                    I paid 10 pound (20NZ) for one and my sister turned up at my house with the other bottle asking " is this the stuff you been going on about".

                    I ask everyone i know if they have klear,future or pledge one go.

                    Stona you have a life supply...Very LUCKY.

                      Total madness!

                      It's amazing how much people are willing to pay for things on that eBay!

                        To be perfectly honest, I tried this stuff and wasn't all that impressed. I used acrylic varnish with much better results. Does anyone feel the same? Regards, Pete

                          I like the old formula Klear but there are plenty of people who don't and would agree with you.

                          I certainly would not pay over the odds for Klear when a good gloss varnish does exactly the same thing. At the original price Klear was very good value for money,but not at thirty quid a bottle!

                          Cheers

                            Klear IS acrylic varnish.

                              i use the new formula all the time and can confirm it is milky coloured by dries perfectly clear AND doesnt cost twenty quid a bottle
