Eternal CoatingsEternal Jewelry Coating, Clear Protective Polish-on Sealant to Protect and Shield Metal and Stone Jewelry from Tarnish, Wear and Prevent Allergies .5oz (Single Unit)

I felt the need to write this review bc it seems there is alot of confusion in this product, specifically application process and how long to leave it on your item. I used this on several pieces on my 2 micron gold plated jewelry pieces and application went very smoothly. Seem to fill in a few blemishes in the gold plating and previous clear coating chipping. I can't speak on the full quality and longevity of it just yet. But it seems their number 1 complaint is application.1) CLEAN YOUR ITEM THOROUGHLY!2) Use blue polish rag to buff out (gently) remaining tarnish or blemishes (must remove all dust, dirt, finger prints, everything. If you are lazy with this step, your finish product will show it)3) It comes with an awesome top brush on, think nail polish brush. Brush on a LIGHT FIRST COAT! One of the biggest complaints I've noticed is ppl complaining about a white residue or thick finish coat they can't buff off. This is not suppose to happen if you apply correctly. Again, think apply nail polish. DO NOT load the brush with excessive product. Paint on lightly, remove excess as you blend. This is very important. What happens when you goop on to much nail polish and not remove excess before it dries? It looks awful!4) Drying time. I wasn't sure how long to let it dry for so I emailed the seller to confirm some info. This seems to be the other missing link that caused complaints. Yes, the longer you leave the product on to cure does give you a thicker result. Recommended dry time is 5 - 60 minutes depending on your item. I left mine on any where from 10 minutes to over an hour (accidentally) and it was still not dry. But you DO NOT want it to dry/harden on your item. You want it to cure. Difference. So yes it was still wet every time I went to polish off (gently). I'm not sure where others got the impression to goop on excessive product to their items then let dry over night? This product goes a long way, use the least amount as possible. You can reapply additional coats easier with more control way easier than it will be if you hastly goop on a ton of product on the first coat hoping to cut corners. That is your mistake, not the sellers nor product fault.5) Use white polish rag to shine up, GENTLY. Until you know how your item is going to respond to this product, all applications and steps to be done with soft hand. That should be a no brainier.Once you polish off the product to satisfaction, that is when it is dry. HOWEVER, I would not recommend wearing (if jewelry) for a full 8-12 hours just to be safe.Long story short; no gooping on excessive product, no leaving the product on longer than 60 minutes. No crying in baseball.This is just my honest, paying customer review bc I absolutely hate ppl who leave poor reviews on products that they don't understand or know how to use.

Item arrived on time seems to be working fine decent price point

The outside packaging and container box was ripped open. Are scans not available? Did they use a hazmat suit with narcan on standby? I just found it ridiculous that a Neanderthal method was used to check mail, when I’m sure the seller and location seemed legit. So weird. However, I’ve used this product before and had no issues, and it worked great.

Perhaps my expectation were too high but this is possibly the worse thing I’ve purchased from Amazon! I have purchased other liquid coasters and am trying to find one that’s more than mediocre… This did NOT even reach the mediocre level! I followed the instruction word by word and extended the drying time by 1 hour to insure they liquid was fully absorbed and dry before applying a second coat. The first time I used it, it went on pretty smoothly and it was a clear although a bit smelly liquid(That’s why it should be used outdoors in a ventilated area) I replaced the cap and tightened it as much as possible, but when I opened the bottle 3 or 4 days later to coat other items, the “Liquid” had turned to a copper color disgusting goo like thing and when I brushed what little I could on the necklace it turned into a reddish substance that was impossible to remove from the silver chain. It also made the two previously coated rope necklace and bracelet very stiff and the horrible smell remained on the items even though I washed them several times trying to remove whatever the heck is in the bottle from the jewelry! I also had to discard the Sterling silver because I was not able to remove the sticky goo… I had used a jewelry cloth in the past and that removed the tarnish perfectly well and made the piece look like new. I decided to use this product to hopefully stop the piece from tarnishing to begin with…. Not only did it NOT accomplish that, I had to throw 3 pieces of silver jewelry away because 2 had turned stiff as bone and one had the nasty, sticky and unremovable goo on it! Don’t waste your $ and ruin your jewelry! I’m not sure if the photo below shows stiffness, but the corners show the kink created after 2 coats of this crap! This was one of the silver necklaces with 18k gold layer on it. I’ve had it for over 3 years, wore it quite regularly and yet the necklace retained its original gold layering but I had to polish it every few weeks to restore it to the shine it had. I thought this additional “coating” would cut down on polishing the chain with the jewelry cloth…I threw away the chain because I was too lazy to polish the necklace regularly and thought/hoped this would help…Not so!
