Is there a video on sealing water bottles?

[@iv2439]

FINALLY! I feel like I have been singing out of the choir about this for soooo long! Everyone says seal it. And I did, on my first mug and I hated it to the point that I refused to make more. Finally started up again recently and no sealant works just fine! Question on printable HTV. Do you know if there is a way to seal it and/or make it weatherproof/waterproof before applying it?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Yay! So glad we could help. Also, with Printable HTV unfortunately you cannot seal it before applying like you can with Printable Vinyl. However, if it's going on something like a garden flag you can seal the whole project with Outdoor Mod Podge: amzn.to/3hgRn0I or something like that :)

What about sealing it if you are using other media on the glass? For example, I made a wine glass with my daughters thumbprints in the shape of a heart with vinyl words. I used acrylic paint for her thumbprints.

[@bonniehogue8323]

Do you use the regular permanent vinyl on glass or is there a different one that should be used?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You can use any type of adhesive vinyl on your glass as long as it's a good brand.

[@mirandaberry9484]

I used Cricut premium vinyl (permanent) on my glasses and I’m so scared it’s going to come off I didn’t learn about 651 until after I had completed my project. So what issues will I have once I wash them in water. I’m new to this any help will be appreciated.

Just hand wash and dry quickly after, and you should not have any issues :)

[@raymondmaher1388]

What if you was to mod podge before cutting.?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So, you can't mod podge before cutting, and if you did, that would still just be mod podge ON the vinyl, which wouldn't change a thing. To seal something is to apply it OVER the vinyl to seal the vinyl to the glass. Hope that makes sense! :)

[@shereecohen-conner9267]

Do you have to seal the glasses? Is it important too? I’m new to this!

Is there a way to combat the vinyl lifting from condensation?? I keep having that problem 😭

Try etching your wine glasses rather than using vinyl

Is it better to use the spray polyurethane or paint it on? I need to make ornaments and am wondering if I should use the spray polyurethane or Modge Podge.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Hello! So, much like the answer in this video, we don't really recommend sealing glass/plastic ornaments with vinyl on them. Unless you plan on hanging them in your yard, the vinyl will stay on just fine for years to come.

[@melindapalmer883]

What about if you glitter the bottom of the glass? I’m made some for Christmas and had a beautiful silver glitter and I use mod podge and it dull it horribly.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Feel free to seal it if you want to :) I don't think the glitter would hold up well otherwise.

[@missjayda7122]

So are you all using htv or regular vinyl

[@michaelmartucci6425]

Does htv not work on clear like on mugs??

No HTV does not work on clear mugs :) HTV is so tricky to apply on cups anyways, we'd advise not to use it.

Really, as long as you get a good brand, any adhesive vinyl will do well :) There is not that much of a difference between adhesives on the vinyls so really any is fine.

I use Oracle 651 for glass because it cures over time and the adhesive last for around 5 years.

I do epoxy cups and have the set up to do epoxy. Tried epoxy on a glitter wine glass and it was a complete fail and waste of my epoxy. After watching this I'll stick to just mod podge on the glitter and not the rest of the cup.

[@missadkins5882]

what about the epoxy spray?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

We don't recommend it at all. Will still leave your glass cloudy and the spray doesn't seal well.

[@tinamariemalinowski2745]

can you use resin on it Like a serving tray that has a vinyl design on it

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Sure, if you'd like

[@karenkinsey6144]

so no vinyl is dishwasher safe by itself, even at normal temperatures?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Correct! All vinyl, unsealed, and exposed to water of any temp for long will affect the adhesive. But if you seal it, you create that layer of protection.

[@menendez7630]

So which one did you used?

[@melevonne]

I make epoxy coasters, but I am fully against using epoxy to coat. I don't think it's great to drink from a rim glass or tumblr that has epoxy at the top.

Epoxy is dishwasher safe and food safe after it's cured, per the FDA. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and safety comes first so please do whatever you're comfortable with :)

It would have been really helpful if you had shown all three sealers on the glass, not just the mod lodge. I watched that whole video expecting you to do that because you had three products.
