      all you had to do was print on special, transfer paper, not on ordinary paper, and you could save yourself from crumbling

    I would love to see a video by you showing how you create large signs with these methods. Do you use a certain program to split up words/letters to be able to make them larger than 8.5 x 11? How do you match them up? Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for referring this vIdeo to me, it was before I subscribed to your channel and it answers my original question. I know what Polyacrylic sealer is but when you added “graphic sealer” to it I thought it was another product with a different purpose.

    Can you touch up little spots where some of the ink came off with a sharpie or so.ething before sealing? Will you be able to tell it was touched up?

    Regarding the chalk paint base - is there a formula that would dry translucent so that you can see the wood grain in the negative space of the print?

      You could make a wood stain . That might leave some of the wood grain showing. ua-cam.com/video/pW_PlsSLJW8/v-deo.html

    Hi Deidre. Will this Mod Podge method work if I am placing the lettering on a board that is a different color? Lets say a red or blue back ground?

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  2 роки тому +1

      Yes it will. It can be a bit more tricky but can be done. The mod pdoge may show more around edges but you can paint around the letters with background colour to blend if needed.

    @sierrahill1508 2 роки тому

    I followed another tutorial by another person and they instructed to use a lot more modge podge (to the point you almost can't even see the print under it) - will this be an issue? You used a lot less.

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  2 роки тому +1

      I find you don't need much at all! I have made hundreds of signs and the more I use the more you can see mod podge around the edges. It also wrinkles and bubbles more. Try both ways and see what works best for you! Thanks for watching Sierra

    Polycrylic (not Polyacrylic) is a different product to Varathane. Transfer works way better with glossy label paper. There's zero mess.
