Is this safe to use? UPDATE!!!

I just bought this:

I am wondering if it is safe to use on my doll before I go spraying it on him. It's NOT Krylon brand sealer.

I hope it is. Now all I need is the gloss enamel for his lips and eyes.

UPDATE:
I bought a can of this:

I read somewhere that this was the THIRD best option to use for a BJD face up. I managed to clean my poor guy's face with Windsor and Newton brush cleaner[And it was NOT cheap. I got a small bottle retailed about 7.79 w/o taxes.]
Now if this stuff isn't safe I may as well just save up the money to send his head to someone to get it done. Again, I can paint, just not confident with something so delicate as this.

No one got good results on DOA. Most people got inferior results. Some people got TERRIBLE (as in, hurt the resin).

Brands like Patricia Nimocks, Plaid, Folkart, and Apple Barrel are meant for hobbyiest decor painters--things like painted saw blades, buckets, cute little wooden plaques with sayings on them, and wooden geese with bows around their necks. They are NOT meant for resin, for the delicate work of a faceup, and in the case of paint, inferior pigment and not a lot of it.

Ah. Well I used it, and the face is is something to be desired. Meaning it's not as bright as I thought it would be. So I have to get some Windsor & Newton brush cleaner and start over. That sucks. If it hurts the resin, then I have to get it off as soon as money allows. I used up all of my saved up money to get the chalks and water color pencils.

I may just have to use acrylic paints. I didn't want to, but now I may have to. I'm afraid of using paints, cause if I screw u I have to dunk his head and start all over.

In the end I may have just screwed myself over and may have to buy him a new head....
