Pyrography Sealants
There are a host of sealants for securing your burn art from being fading away. These are Varnish, Polyurethane, Oil, Shellac, Lacquer, Paste Wax. All are available in common online market places. Some are at stores round the corner.
If you are not buying the starter set, you can buy the things separately and you can make some of the tools as DYI projects. Following are some helpful tips.
