  • How do I attach PolyOnlay to my project?

    Make sure your surface is clean and grease free. We recommend Polyvine’s Cascarez Fast Grab Wood Glue (the red one) or use any goodquality glue of your choice. Use a brush or sponge dabber and apply agenerous coat to the back of your PolyOnlay. Attach it to your surfaceand wipe away any excess glue with a damp cloth, baby wipe or brush.

  • Can I apply PolyOnlay on a curved surface?

    Yes, you can! PolyOnlay is flexible so you can apply them on bow fronted drawers, lamp shades, flowerpots and more. Just hold it down with masking tape or cling wrap until the glue bonds.

  • I quite like the natural colour of PolyOnlay, can I leave them as they are?

    Yes! PolyOnlay is water resistant so it can be cleaned and wiped down without sealing it.

  • Can I cut PolyOnlay to fit my project?

    Yes! You can alter your PolyOnlay by using a sharp craft knife (please use caution when using sharp instruments, wear PPE, all that jazz) or heavy-duty scissors. You can also smooth rough edges with sanding paper.

  • What paint can I use on my PolyOnlay?

    Any!!! Mineral paint, chalk paint, eggshell paint, milk paint, metallic paint, spray paint, solvent based paint, coloured waxes, pigments, permanent ink, varnish, glaze, resin… anything else you can think of!
