The plus side of the Rustoleum being brush on is that you could probably get away with skipping the painter's tape step since you'll have more control with the brush vs the sprays. Thank you for sharing this cool experiment with us. Learned something I didn't know, but I'm glad I do now!! Have you ever heard of Rustoleum's waterproofing system called "Never Wet"? It's pretty pricey at big box stores ($20-25), but I've actually seen it at Dollar Tree the past 2 years... around this time of year. It comes with 2 cans, step 1 and step 2. It'd be interesting to see how it works for that purpose. I may just try it out and let you know. I stocked up when I saw it at DT so I have plenty to work with!! LOL
Thanks for the info on this product at DT, I will look for it and give it a try as well.
Curiosity question as I live in Australia and have different cheap stores. If it's a two tin product is it a resin product? If so really interested in how it reacts to a prorous base like terracotta if you try it!
@@tmarie1596 I am not sure if this product is a resin, I have tried resin on wood but not on terra cotta, I am curious to see how it would react to the porous nature of terra cotta. Thanks for the idea I have some resin and will try it on one of my terra cotta saucers.
@@hollyhasegawa6095 good luck and if you do try it if you could pass on how it went. Personally I'm to cheap to buy terracotta saucers they are the same price as pot and I prefer to use plastic picnic plates. But I would be extremely interested in result.
Never wet was awful. We tried it for canvas for camping.
Put the mod podge in the oven at 250 for about an hour after you apply your coats! I use it all the time!
Good tip. But to be sure, you mean put the mod podge coated Terra Cotta pot/saucer in oven- Right? NOT heat up up the mod podge container's stuff then apply.
6:01 I love your editing skills, 😂😂👍
For some of my saucers, I put thin clear plastic plates from the dollar store under them to protect surfaces.
Dinner plates from the thrift store work well too and add a little bit of decoration to the table.
I am so glad to see this!!! And the water magic--had to go back and see that a couple times ♥♥♥
You did a great job of maintaining consistent comparisons. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! This past weekend I spent looking for glazed saucers with no luck. I resorted to buying some terracotta colored plastic ones which just aren’t the same! Thanks again Laura!!
Thank you ..such good info!
I’ll definitely use the Rust-Oleum. It does look the best. So glad u did this experiment
I went with the Rustoleum and my saucers were looking awesome. Put them out under my roses and they developed that opaque film. Unsure if I didn't cure long enough, or the damp/rainy weather has just been too much. I'll try again and might also try the Rustoleum spray. Thanks for the video/idea.
Great experiment! I have a few of these and was going to try once we get some better weather. Great editing, love the part where you filled up the water, neat.
Love the "Magic" So cool! My kids were telling me why my saucers were ruining the wood surface this morning. Thanks for all the info!
Great experiment Laura and great editing Aaron. Like some people have already said the white residue is caused by moisture trapped in the terracotta but the temperature plays a part too. If it's too cold it will do the same thing. (at least that has been my experience) As a safety tip, you should always wear a mask when you are spraying or brushing on anything that has chemicals in it.
I️ paint a lot of terra cotta pots and the ONLY thing I’ll use to seal them is rustoleum but the spray extra thick gloss!!! It’s AMAZING looks like a real glazed pot
As always, thanks for doing the dirty work to make it easier for the rest of us!!❤️
Wow! I'm a terracotta lover so I can't wait to do this on all my saucers!!
Thank you Laura for that experiment ❤️ Video saved for future references.
Great demo. Will be fun to see how they all hold up. Also wanted to mention I utilize a lot of old dinner and salad plates from my antique hoarding stash. 😉
This was a great experiment as it's been a discussion on garden answer groupies lately.😊 I liked how the rust-oleum turned out too. Btw, loved the magic Aaron.
The Rustoleum needing to be painted on means you don't need the painter's tape, just get a manageable size of brush and you can pretty much keep control. Also, it probably pushes the product into every nook and cranny. I bet the issue with the spray-ons that turned white is it pooled in areas where you sprayed heavier, or the terracotta needed to be sanded, cleaned and completely dried off before spraying first (essentially, you need to prime the surface for spraying).
We renovated our last home and I flex sealed EVERYTHING! lmbo! I did use the water guard on the side of my shed that would mold and I loved them both. However I do love the finish the rustoleum left for a gloss and the water guard for that "natural" look. Thank you!
The Rust-Oleum comes in a spray paint as well. It works great
I wanna use this to seal a painting job on my pot - thank you!
I used to seal the saucers for my family's flower shop and my home plants, using a 2-part acrylic product. Worked very well, just insure the saucers are level when drying the sealer.
Thank you for sharing! You saved me a lot of money, meaning I don’t have to waste money experimenting with different sealers, wasting clay trays that didn’t seal, not to mention the time wasted on experimenting! Thank you again, Judy
Dang Aaron that editing is on fire! 🧙♂️🔥
I use the flex seal and you only need one coat. I have no white residue of any kind and I like the matte finish, I have never liked a shiney finish on anything, except my house plant leaves lol. Been using it for a while with no issues.
What's the VOC rating on that product?
Thanks for the experiment. Love the movie magic!
Cool little experiment!! Just an idea for an added layer of protection, while your tape is still around the edges, you could coat the very bottom of the saucer too. Now I need to go get some sealer & saucers lol. Great video!
t
That was a great comment!! I have a ceramic pot glazed on the inside and the outside but not on the underneath bottom. Well somehow it leaked through the interior glaze and stained the bottom of my bookcase. Going to seal the bottom now.
Thank you for this. I didn't know about the glazed saucers at all!
Seems like it would help to do the bottom of the pots also, Great info.
I've been fortunate that my interior one on my wooden floor hasn't damaged the floor. I will now go buy some to fix this on mine.
Hi Laura and Aaron! Thank you for ding this for us. It is very helpful! Great editing, too!
Now this is so interesting, useful, & fun! The Rustoleum is the winner & it comes in a polyurethane spray can, too. Thank you for all you do & all you share!
I like the more matte ones with the shiny ones. But the magic bit killed me. So funny
Good experience. I agree i like the first one best.
Thank you for doing that experiment. I’ve been wondering how to seal my own, since I can’t find any in stores around me. You’ve done all the work for me!!, 👏👏👏
Aaron you are the best.
Funny, I skipped ahead to see the outcome but then read comments. Had to go back to see the water magic. Thanks for the info and making your videos intriguing from beginning to end.
Great experiment! Thx for doing the work for us!👍🏻
Love this video.... now I know which to try.
Nice information good to know there is some maggic to that 😀👍
I have been told that boat varnish works very well. I have not tried it but it seems like something that would work.
I'd check the VOC rating on that too before using it on a saucer with which you plan to plant anything edible.
Love this, I have been wondering myself how to deal mine up. Will be doing this to mine this weekend
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to make this informative video.
Great experiment. I agree, I liked the look of the rustoleum the best and have most confidence in. Will definitely try. Thank you for the video.
Ohh science in the morning for my coffee with Laura. Love the water pouring part Aaron!!! It's always interesting to see different products and get some suggestions for getting the saucers water tight! I saw Russell in the background when you dumped the first water and wonder if he got any on him lol
Carol Beatty I had to go back to watch what you were taking about. 😂 So cool
Thank you for this video. I’ve been using plastic saucers under my *large* pots but I might l try this!
I used a clear acrylic spray. Seems to work good. The only thing is, as you spray it on, certain areas absorb the spray (and look wet) and some sections still look dry even though there is a good uniform coat. I thought it was because I didn't let the saucers completely dry, but I also sprayed a brand new one- same thing. Another advantage to sealing is no more black mold and stains. But I'm still having second thoughts on using sealer/ spray on the rest of my saucers as I search for a more natural solution.
Thank you for this video. Would you ever do the whole saucer?
I can find glazed saucers at a local nursery but they are outrageously priced (in my opinion). So this may be the solution. One can of clear coat should definitely be more cost effective. Thank you for doing this.
Wow awesome Laura, I was wondering what I could use to cover my saucers so that the water didn't leak through and this video just answered my questions and concerns, I think I will be getting the Rustoleum Ultra Cover, I like the look of the shiny inside like you do. Weird how the Mod Podge changed how it looked when water was placed into it. Thanks so much Laura this was a very useful experiment that I will be trying since most of my succulents and a few of my house plants are in terra cotta.
I saw a few glazed saucers for sale on Etsy. All these people that make and sell ceramics on there should start selling glazed saucers and matching pots... it would be a hit with the Garden Answer crowd!!!
This was so helpful! Thanks💫
Love this! Can you also do an experiment of how to get the patina look on terracotta when you add a brand new pot to an already aged collection? When I go to add a new one it sticks out like a sore thumb! Maybe some type of chalk paint?
Sidney Hayden it’s something like yogurt and moss. You can look this up.
@@Passionproject100 thanks, not interested in the moss look, more of the white patina. I found another article that experiments with other materials though. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! This was very helpful.
Awesome I needed this.
Thompson’s Water Sealer we get ours at Lowe’s 👒🍃
They make a ceramic glaze that they sell to use with ceramics. It seals it very good. I have used it before. You paint it on your ceramics so they won't fade or absorb moisture. I'm sure that would work too. Thanks for posting! Going into the save bend for gardening. lol
Great idea! Thanks for doing the experiment.
great job....loved, loved the magic!!!
What a great video! Thanks for doing this, I will be having a tray glazing day soon 😊
I picked the rustoleum it looked so much better than the others saucers!
I do actually put around 2-3 layers of the spray and sand them in between the coats. In my case it’s the most effective and beautiful way in contrast to pre-glazed saucers. Even more cheap which is an important fact to me.
I wonder if you could mix some acrylic paint in with any of the sealers?
The first one you mentioned I found at home depot.
Great experiment and good to know for future use.
This is a very helpful video!
Hello from Australia... 😀😀
Thank you for the information I am going to use Ultra Cover.
LOL Aaron we like your "magic"!
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting! I like the shiny, glazed interior, but if you prefer the saucer to look more matte, it’s good to know there are products that will seal the interior and provide moisture protection without drastically changing the look of the original terra cotta.
Mod Podge makes a product for outdoor use. That might not act like the one used in this test.
I just used lacquer and it worked
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I used that exact type of flex-seal on a terracotta saucer and it degraded over the summer to the point it was peeling off the surface. Because it was no longer waterproof, I used a putty knife to scrape it completely off. I was really dissatisfied with it. I don’t know if it degraded because of UV light, or because of moisture, but it was not a good product for my needs.
Does Aaron add in those cute little editing touches? The magic one made me laugh!!
I'm surprised anyone suggested ModPodge. I would think it remains water-soluble even after it dries.
Fantastic video! Will the Rustoleum product work as well when one wants to seal the entire Terracotta pot, inside and out? Thank you!
Rustoleum also comes in a can! But being able to brush on seems neater? 👍Awesome experiment and I knew right away modge podge wouldn't work bc it's not really water proof. It's like a super Elmer's glue. 🤷♀️💚 I personally use spar varnish bc here in the Keys it's super humid and sunny, and it has uv protection. Its what they use for boats! Indestructible if treated right! But the white was water trapped in the terracotta. Like salt, it will literally pop out over time. 🤦♀️😉 sorry I wrote a book!
Can the Rust-oleum go inside of the planter to coat the inside? Is it safe for plants?
After you mentioned you had glazed terra cotta saucers I started looking for them - with no success. Glad you did this video - I agree, I’d go with the Rust Oleum too.
They are available in Home Depot, Wayfair, Amazon, etc. Just Google "glazed saucers for pots"
Any other Evan and Caitlin viewers? My mind went straight to Resin! after Laura said experiment. I know it's messy and expensive but it would have been interesting.
I don’t know about the US, but here in Canada, Walmart sells glazed terra cotta saucers.
If it matters, Mod Podge takes at least a month to cure. I don't think it gets milky after that. But if it does Yuck, I'll be using the Rustoleum.
They make outdoor and dishwasher safe modpodge which would likely work better
I wish I knew ceramic leaked! I purchased a big pot to make a custom fountain tht is glazed all around but the bottom is unglazed and over night it leaked through... I was confused until I did research. Then I went and purchased some Thompsons sealant since I read it was really good and now I'm waiting to see how it does when dried.... but it went on kinda strange so hoping it worked. I think Thompsons is close to the Olympic one you have.
Very good and useful information thanks for sharing.
Was the temp outside within the range for painting on the manufactures recomendations? Might be it was too cold out and don't you have to let it cure for several days before using them?
Good question! What are each, individual manufacturer's recommendations for climate when applying? Excellent question.
Very helpful! thank you!
Ack! You didn’t include Thompson’s waterseal. They have one that comes in a spray paint can
Love the magic. You did five coats because of modge podge. Do you think you need to do so many coats with the Rustoleum?
I didn't see an answer about the health of the plants regarding these glazes. Or about doing just the outside of the saucers instead. So far, I buy terracotta coloured plastic saucers instead of terracotta saucers. I found it is lighter for my plant stands and holds the waters inside. They're tougher plastic, so it doesn't break. Some I've been using for years and still in great condition.
I have painted a few clay pots for indoor use, do you think I should have water proofed them first? Thankfully I haven't done the saucers yet. Thank you for the video
I have some large terra cotta pots outside in the garden. What would you advise to seal the outside of pots to help retain water?
Could you use Rust-oleum on the outside of the pots to seal paint?
You did shake the cans well before using them?
Can’t I just buy the rustoleum in a clear coat spray version?
Helpful. Thank you x
Just out of curiosity if anyone in the comments knows; could I use rustoleum, paint over it with acrylic, then reseal with rustoleum?
