    Loved your video. I bought the sealant you recommended. I read the label and it indicated the product was combustible, toxic and carcinogenic. I did use it on a couple pots but I used gloves and did it outside. It has a very strong odor. I then decided not to use and disposed of it.

      Jenna M if you want to make sure it’s still breathable, then this method is perfect! I have a lot of terra-cotta pots left orange but I have two rooms in my house that I prefer to have mainly white and gray pots to match the room decor. This way I can have pots that match and are still breathable! This would probably make more sense if a did a house plant tour.

      Think she mentioned only acrylic paints so it can be any paint as long as it's a water based paint. I'm not sure what oil based paints will do on this kind of medium such as terracotta and how it will work with water running through it. But all I know is that oil based paints are heavier and take a longer time it dry. Maybe the chemicals in oil based paints aren't good for plants. I'm guessing though.

      @plantmyhappyspace3477  4 роки тому +3

      Saloni Jain it’s basically like never allowing the paint on your walls to dry. Watering your plant would keep the paint constantly moist. So the paint would bubble up to or move around. And if it’s currently dry because you haven’t watered you plant in awhile, it could easily chip and scratch off.

      Hanis Nn I’m sure there are alternatives but this is the only one I’ve used and won’t recommend something I haven’t used. You can look for another sealant as long as it claims to be for porous materials. Or claims to be a penetrating sealant.

      Adrialyn Signo if you don’t use sealant, and use it properly, the paint will start to bubble up, move around, and get scraped off because there’s too much moisture.

    Im not sure you NEED to seal it. modern acrylic paints have greater resistance to scuffing and form a flexible plastic surface. its it just to adjust sheen? Alternatively, you can completely seal it on all sides with resin to lock in a design.

    • @plantmyhappyspace3477
      @plantmyhappyspace3477  4 роки тому

      Erin Makes I don't seal to prevent scuffing. I seal to prevent the paint from bubbling up. If you don't seal it, the paint won't fully cure, which is what causes the bubbles. I use this sealant and not resin to make sure the pot is still moisture wicking.

    • @erinhallmakes777
      @erinhallmakes777 4 роки тому +1

      Then it would make more sense to seal the pot before you paint it. The only reason to seal acrylic is to prevent scuffing and add surface protection period when the paint bubbles on something it's because of moisture from below the paint. it would make sense if you sealed it beforehand and then put the acrylic on it but I don't think even that will help because acrylic forms a solid sheet of plastic on the surface and doesn't breathe great. essentially painting it and then sealing it to help it breathe is like laying a place of plastic down and then putting a breathable sealer over top of it.

      Using a penetrating porous sealant works the best for me and this method but if you have a different method that works for you, that’s awesome!

    Hi there is the sealant glossy? If not do you think I can use a glossy acrylic seal then the sealer spray on top?

    • @plantmyhappyspace3477
      @plantmyhappyspace3477  4 роки тому

      amy Nguyen the glossy acrylic seals aren’t usually made for porous materials. Which means the terracotta won’t wick moisture anymore. This means the pot isn’t breathable and then the paint will also start to bubble because water is getting trapped under the sealant.

    • @amynguyen9045
      @amynguyen9045 4 роки тому

      amy Nguyen there’s no texture. It maybe has a slight sheen but I wouldn’t call it glossy.

    I wouldn't be able to leave the pot half painted like that and only on the outer esthetic. I would feel like I need to paint the whole surface of the pot inside and out because it will feel unfinished to me. And will bother me.

      Danielle Brown I honestly have no idea. I imagine as long as it’s acrylic based spray paint and you let it dry completely, it SHOULD work the same way. But I’ve never done it so take this with a grain of salt.
