What is best for using over printed paper? Do those doming products create bubbles that you need to use a torch to pop? Do any of those turn yellow or sticky over time? Thx
Any recommendations on a product to use as a sealer for a photo transfer onto a concrete paver? Obviously, want to make sure image brightens as much as possible, but also withstands weather and walking. (My plan is to use mod podge to transfer an inkjet image, to make the concrete pavers look like Talavera (Spanish) tiles. 😃)
..... I came looking for a video on how best to seal my clay dodo doll head (don’t want my paint to scrape easy) and found this. Didn’t expect this at all. But you easily earned a sub for presentation guys. 👌🏼
I just spoke with the Manager at Michael’s and asked if I could seal my acrylic painting that has glitter on it with mod podge. They told me it was not a sealer! Even though the bottle of mod podge matte finish states water-based glue, sealer and finish, a Manager at MICHAELS CRAFTS store told me it is not a sealer! I have watched several videos on mod podge, The bottle itself states that it is a sealer but apparently everyone seems to be misinformed. I finally used a water-based white glue that I bought at the Dollarama, two bottles for $1.25 and sealed the glitter onto my acrylic painting. In my opinion, The mod podge which cost me $20 for 16 ounces is a glorified glue and is way over priced and improperly labelled because the word sealer should be removed. I will now endeavour to varnish my painting. Thank you for your video.
Hi, thanks for the great video. What product would be the best for protecting small machine embroidery on fabric. So the threads wont be torn and to leave a matte or glossy look? Thank you!
One option you could try is Mod Podge. Here are the two that we carry: Starter Pack: www.firemountaingems.com/4650BS.html Gloss Mod Podge: www.firemountaingems.com/4649BS.html Most of our other sealants are for use in jewelry making, but there are other fabric sealers and spray sealers that you can find online.
I just started tying fresh and saltwater fishing flies. I need something that will coat and protect foam bodies and to build up round heads. Are any of these options waterproof?
Hello, some of the products from back when this video was made are no longer available. We can't speak specifically to the application of fishing flies, but you could check out the new Mod Podge epoxy resin. Here is the link: www.firemountaingems.com/8461BS.html As I said, we have not used this product for your specific application, but this product is very durable and dries clear. It can be used to seal designs on cups or mugs, so it can withstand repeated handwashing, which could make it a great product to at least try out. Hope this information helps!
I want to make a jolly rancher charm but I don't want to just make a red piece cause that will just look like a bead. Can I add a wrapper to it & harden the wrapper with mod podge or anything.?
I'm trying to stick laser brochure or regular paper to a plastic bottle. I want to cut out tape and add a little protection for the photo . Wondering will the glossy work
I know this is an old video but I hope you see my question. After using mod podge to glue and seal fabric onto glass (vase), once dried, can I then brush on magic gloss as a top coat for the glass effect??
Hmmm, we're not sure. We've never experimented with that kind of project. Magic gloss needs to be cured under UV light so you could put it out in the sun to cure. Give it a try. That's the fun with creating!
Hello, I can't speak to what will work the best for tin pieces, but here is a link to some of the sealers we offer: www.firemountaingems.com/search/?q=sealant If you are looking for more info, you can call our customer service team at 1-800-423-2319 (for U.S. & Canada), or 1-541-956-7890 (for international calls) or email them at info@firemtn.com and they may be able to better recommend products for you!
@@FireMountainGems It is a 1 inch by 1 inch picture frame. I am going to cut out a 1 inch by 1 inch piece of art and paste it into the frame. I want to coat the art in something that will protect it. The piece of art is alcohol ink on Yupo paper. The coating cannot react with the alcohol ink and protect it. Is there any Mod Podge product that can be applied directly to alcohol ink on Yupo paper and NOT react with the ink?
Hi Diego. Since we create jewelry pieces and we don't work with alcohol ink art, we had to do a bit of research. In our research we would not recommend any Mod Podge sealants. It appears that Krylon Kamar Varnish is by far the most recommended sealant for alcohol ink projects.
Hello. Here's an interesting article from Mod Podge about that. modpodgerocksblog.com/mod-podge-using-with-ink-pads-pens-pencils-markers-and-more/ We're sorry, we don't use Mod Podge in that way so we cannot answer your question.
@@FireMountainGems I mean, I use pencil colors on shrink paper. And after I took out it from the oven, I let it cool down and apply mod podge. It smeared the colors
OK bizarre question. I make sugar graft cake toppers made from edible modeling paste or gumpaste. People often ask if they can varnish them so they can keep them as ornaments once it's taken off the cake. Is there a mod podge that would work for this?? Resin is good but if the measurements or mixing is not perfect it won't work. Also yacht varnish works but you have to do it outside because of the smell. Any info on mod podge would be great
@@kellywilson5238 Hi Kelly. No I'm afraid I didn't, not with mod podge. The only thing that really works is epoxy resin which when it's mixed absolutely correctly is brilliant. The figures I have coated are hard as rock and so far still in one piece. It makes your figure glossy so they look like glazed pottery. You just have to make sure that you measure and mix it just right and really protect your surface that your working on because if it dries on to anything that's it its there forever. I've found the best thing is baking parchment as it doesn't stick to that. And use disposable containers and tools for mixing and brushing it on because whatever you use will never be usable again. There are lots of UA-cam videos that help. Hope this was helpful. Sorry for the long essay 🤣🤣🤣 I am still on the look out for a more straightforward solution but most things just dissolve the sugar.
Hi Valerie. Mod Podge is a decoupage medium - it dries super clear and hold tight. It's been used in jewelry-making for years. Here's a link to some jewelry design which Mod Podge was used: bit.ly/3jDp0eq
If the Mod Podge is still wet, a nice rinse in warm water should work well. If it's dried, we've had some success with soaking the brushes in hot white vinegar for a new minutes, then rinsing under warm water. We hope that helps! Thanks for watching. :)
Hi Irene. We don't recommend any of these surface sealants for use with food or drinks. You might peruse online and check clay resources on what resin is safe to use when making a coffee mug.
Mod Podge is one sealer that would work well. However, due to the current pandemic, we are out of stock of that product. You might be able to find it at a craft store. Another option is a spray sealant found in the paint section.
Hi there. We do offer some adhesives that can be used on fabric and ceramics. Here's a link to the chart for you to take a look at: www.firemountaingems.com/resources/encyclobeadia/charts/glues?term=adhesives We don't offer any surface sealants specifically for ceramics or shoes. However, Mod Podge can be used on fabrics like shoes.
Hi there. Thanks for watching. Although the video was really just a short video on the surface sealants available, here's some links to finished product after using some. Mod Podge: fmg.co/lSgWkx and fmg.co/cSESMJ Ice Resin: fmg.co/uia32j Magic Glos: fmg.co/mFF9Jc Hope that helps.
