Ensure that the piece is fully dried before sealant application. This can take multiple days, sometimes longer if the piece was saturated.

All of these defects expose the clay body underneath and can allow liquids to leak through. Clay Coat can fix all of these issues with an alternate application method. Pour Clay Coat inside the vessel and let it sit for 10 minutes before pouring out and saving for later use.

But as with any ceramics, the longevity and durability of the surface is going to depend widely on how you treat it. If you use heavy detergents or abrasives on it then it could degrade the surface (this would be the case with glazed surfaces too, like cutlery leaving marks on plates).  Products treated with Clay Coat are hydrophobic and oleophobic, which makes them resist water, grease, acids, alkali and alcohol. This means they should never require harsh detergents or abrasives in the first place. As long as you treat the surface with care, Clay Coat will not require reapplication.
