Product: ClearShield
"This letter is a long time in coming.

I have been doing projects both private and for Portraits of Hope for many years, and your topcoat/varnish ClearShield Clear Coating with UV-Protective Coating Gloss Type LL was truly one of the best products I have ever worked with. Very few products have ever responded the way Gloss Type LL did in enhancing the works of art.

Everyone at CLEARSTAR was incredible. The Gloss Type LL made such a difference in protecting and adding shine to the work of the hospitalized children. We were amazed at how the Gloss Type LL worked under the most adverse conditions with sleet, wind, sun, ocean air, high velocity and with airplane fluid drippings and oil. Throughout the entire exhibition the shine remained intact with no abrasions.

As you know, Portraits of Hope is a creative therapy program for children in need. We recently visited hospitals across the United States and the children painted on special material that was affixed to the outerskin of a DC-3 airplane. This was the first time ever a plane has been transformed like this. The plane flew as part of the First Flight Centennial Celebration, honoring the Wright Brothers historical undertaking 100 years ago.

Without knowing you or you knowing us, your donation of the ClearShield was extraordinary, especially with the quickness that you responded in shipping the 5-gallon containers to us.

We were able to apply the ClearShield to all 10,000 square feet of the plane and the shine from the sky was phenomenal. We were also grateful with the ease the varnish went on. We were on a tight timetable in completing this project and the actual application process was quick and effortless.

We are so grateful to all of you for your donation and your incredible products and we look forward to many years of working together."

Product: ClearShield
We've been using ClearShield for a few months now and wanted to report our wonderful experiences so far. The flow characteristics and workability are terrific, and our success certainly demonstrates again that water based products can be just as easy to apply as sign enamels. We've been very impressed with the clarity of the high gloss finish, and have been using it both over digital and vinyl graphics as well as to improve the overall appearance of our latex paint jobs. Additionally, we have had equally good success with our HVLP delivery, so overall we're thrilled. We aren't surprised, however, since each step in our long association with Steve and Laurie has always dramatically improved our products, and this latest experience is no different...Thanks again for a quality, professional product.

"I have to admit I was old-fashioned in my bias toward solvent clears. I never thought I would switch to a water-based clear, but I'm glad that I finally made the change to Clearstar's ClearShield®. It has some nice advantages."

"There are no strong odors. ClearShield® goes on very easily using roller or brush. I like to apply the product with a foam brush. The clear smoothes out to a nice "sprayed-on look" finish."

"I use ClearShield® over the face of my painted aluminum signs for added protection."

"My customers are impressed with the look of the finished product. I only price out my signs to include clears and for the small extra charge, my customers are glad to get a better product that has added protection and a better look."

"I recommend ClearShield® on all painted or vinyl signs. They look great and it gives me peace of mind to know that the sign will last longer in the elements and won't be brought back faded and weather-worn!"

"Give water-based ClearShield® a try and see for your self… Ask your sign supplier about the product and if they don't have it, ask them why…"

"Whether you choose the gloss, semi-gloss or matte finishes, you'll be a happier sign-maker for using ClearShield®."

"I really appreciate the wonderful help and information I have received from Clearstar. Very rarely do I see such generous and delightful people."

One of my customers owns a fleet of trucks for his freight business. I convinced him to install 4 sign frames on each side of the trucks. We sell advertising space on the trucks as his business takes him from Anchorage to Wasilla each day (50 miles one way) and gets lots of exposure.

These vehicles get power washed almost daily. I noticed that some of the signs were starting to look old prematurely. I decided to use the water based ClearShield on the next sign that went up on the truck. It just happened to be for the car wash business. Well, that was over one year ago and the sign coated with ClearShield looks like it was made today.

Product: Window Juice
"Just a note on this Window Juice. I used it this week on two jobs. One was on a windshield that was only about 45 degrees temp. It worked super, no bubbles. App paper lifted no problems. The other was SignGold Reverse window vinyl, the lettering was small and slipped around a bit. But I should have hinged it. Still worked great! Thanks."

FanFreakintastic!!!
Typically, I avoid window jobs, we are a small shop and don't have the time to waste to remove transfer tape… we have plenty of customers with gravey jobs…This opens up new revenues for us!”
