Here’s our Etsy shop DISCOUNT link - www.etsy.com/shop/HappyDottingCompany?coupon=KZbin Popular casting powders include Hydrocal powders (Hydrocal is mainly composed of plaster of Paris and a small amount of Portland cement) and Dental stone plaster, however many casting powders work well. Here’s a KZbin link for casting - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lauqnYRqnKZngM0

Thanks so much!! I was wanting something to coat my real lights with and the coasters, now I believe you just gave it to me!! Thank you!!

[@virginiaholliday6952]

Thank you so much! This couldn't have come at a better time for me! I was just about buy resin for the coasters I've made for Christmas gifts. Your timing couldn't have been better!!! Thank you.

[@stephie640]

Excited to try this. I am intimidated by resin so this will make a nice alternative.

I'm not sure you'll find it glossy enough for that purpose - but good luck! 😊

[@pamj2474]

Thank you Anjela, it is available in the U.S. through Amazon & just over $7. - I ordered a can to try, as I'm getting low on the varnish spray I'm currently using. Have a blessed day! 💕 🙏 😃

[@rebeccayoung3536]

Might give this a go! I make wooden coasters painted with emulsion paint. I've went through numerous and like yourself spent a lot of money on different varnishes etc and they all have not worked. The cup always sticks to the coaster and even when storing the coasters they stick to each other resulting in varnish and paint coming away.

[@debrapolenz3104]

One thing I can say is I'd search online for other stores who sell it, any auto store, charge much more for things, especially Napa. For instance a gallon of Spray Nine spray cleaner is over $18 at Napa. It's $9.99 at Home Depot. So always shop around.

[@HappyDottingCompany]

We don't have Home Depot in Australia. :)

[@debrapolenz3104]

It's durable since its and enamel, one thing don't ever use krylon paints where water is going to make contact it will cloud up. I'm curious why you didn't try a spray on gloss polyurethane? I coated some rocks I painted with it and put outside to see how it would hold up and it's beautiful still.

[@HappyDottingCompany]

Some products have a tacky residue - than your coffee cup sticks - so it's got to be right in a number of ways. Not sure of the exact product you mean and we may not have it in Australia. :)

[@sandrapudoff]

Thanks for this idea, Amazon in the states has it for $10 A can!!! So trying to avoid using resin!

[@susansmith9405]

Great video! What size wooden discs do you use?

[@HappyDottingCompany]

Thank you! 90mm / 3 1/2 inches

[@parulmangal4434]

Thank you Angela for this great tip. I have been facing this problem since a long time.. when I apply gloss varnish on coasters, the glass sticks. I live in Bangkok. From where can I find this sealant? Thanks

[@HappyDottingCompany]

I'd try online Parul - does Amazon deliver there?

[@Diwondermum]

May l ask the auto shop you refer to is that Supercheap or Repco or Auto barn please?? So nice to know that an Aussie does this painting. So much easier to source supplies!! Go Aussies!!

[@HappyDottingCompany]

Diwondermum I found it at a auto shop in Slacks Creek Brisbane called Napa 😀

[@debrapolenz3104]

just search the paint online you will find many sources I am sure

[@HappyDottingCompany]

Unfortunately it's not that easy to get here in Australia. Certainly the shop Napa in Slacks creek just south of Brisbane has it. Supercheap may be able to get in it for you because they stock Dupli-color products. You can get it through Amazon but it will be expensive that way. :)

[@nancysepic]

What do you use to cut your backing with?

[@HappyDottingCompany]

It's just felt with self adhesive backing - so I just cut it out with scissors. 😊

[@lancenelson6195]

Would this work on unglazed ceramic tiles?

[@HappyDottingCompany]

I believe so - although I haven't tested that. 😊

[@harley1200rdr]

I'm very new at this and doing a lot of research. Would self leveling UV Resin work? Your work is stunning ❤

[@HappyDottingCompany]

Thank you. There are different types of resin and I haven't tried them all. Some resins are not heat resistant, will mark and can by tacky. However maybe there is suitable resin that I haven't discovered yet. Anjela 😊

[@harley1200rdr]

@@HappyDottingCompany Not sure if you can get your hands on it, but Resin Rockers & Counter culture DIY is great UV resin that's self leveling from my experience. I will continue to watch and learn, your work is AMAZING.

[@janicemathur5861]

Can I use dimensional magic on acrylic paints for sealing

[@HappyDottingCompany]

Sorry I don't know - I don't have any experience with that product. Thank you, Anjela

[@jennysherwen6299]

Can this product be used on diamonds done on Perspex coasters

[@HappyDottingCompany]

Sorry I really have no idea as I've never done diamonds on anything. 😊

[@cerae9561]

Does the seal remain pretty well after washing to clean?

[@HappyDottingCompany]

I've never tried soaking it but certainly after wiping it does. 😊

[@lalitabisht9256]

Is this non toxic and non inflammable? Because people sometime put coasters on top of hot drinks.

[@HappyDottingCompany]

I've never tried to set fire to the coasters and I wouldn't recommend putting them on top of a drink - I don't know if it's toxic when dry but doubt it. 😊

[@Niikasan]

Can you put hot drinks/cups on the coasters?

[@makaelaness]

What about condensation

[@HappyDottingCompany]

Doesn't seem to be a problem on mine. 😊

[@flowwithitdesigns5240]

Why don’t you use resin?

[@HappyDottingCompany]

I haven't found a resin that is properly heat resistant, and doesn't mark or is tacky - a mug sticks to it. 😊
