This video has spared my head from an enormous amount of scratching and hair-pulling. Angels really do exist! Thank you
The two pack epoxy finishes will yellow under Ultraviolet light. This can be avoided by coating with urethane clear top coat.
Seriously, BEST intro for a crafting video... EVER!
Shellac is made to be used on stained timber that is polished afterwards with an oil, Dad uses it to restore antique furniture correctly.
Thank you so much for clarifying the differences between varnishes. Tremendous help as I decoupage on coasters for hot/cold beverage use. I have always used the Polycrylic as protective finish and your video reinforces that I am doing it correctly. Much appreciate. Thank you!!
Melissa Fabucci how many layers on coaster? Would it need special mask?
@@dina-vp1me 2 or 3 coats of Polycrylic. I use the pray can gives a smooth finish look. wait about 15-20 minutes between each coat. I would use a good face mask, yes, and best to spray outdoors.
Fabulous. You just saved me a lot of research. I've been trying to figure out the best solutions for projects for a couple of weeks. You are the best instructor. You must have been a teacher in a former life. Thank you
Aww, thank you Dottie, that warms my heart. I think I'll turn the computer off for the night and end my day on a high note. Thank you again!

This has to be the most epic intro to video in this category I've ever seen.😅
I have put 4 coats of polycrilic on top
Of a napkin decoupage onto a dollar tree glass cutting board. Will that make it water proof or
At least water resistant? Thank you. I enjoy your videos.
All the wood in the Old Heidelberg's Bar area was covered in SPAR varnish. 50 years ago they used Marine Varnish. Loved the way it looked.
Skip to 16:35 for the abridged version. Great info!
Awesome I’ve always wanted to know the difference!! Thankyou🥰❤
Thank you for taking the time to teach so many of us.
I have a brain injury so am a bit slow but can’t figure out of I should buy the Minwax Spar Urethane that is made with water or made without water. I would really appreciate your help with this! Again, thank you.
Thanks so much for doing this video truly helps definitely will save for future reference. You are such a fantastic teacher, I’ve watched every video and learned so much about the how to’s of this craft that I have fallen in love with because you so selflessly share your wealth of knowledge with others. Once again thank you
This video is extremely helpful! Thank you from someone just starting out with this craft. I really appreciate it!
Hahaha Patty! You’ve read my mind!! I’ve been wasting so much money on varnishes!!! Finally!! Thank you! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Aww, I'm so glad I could help and save you some time ...
Have a great weekend!
Patti
yes another page said triple thick is not waterproof. but i did bake the pavers after applying. also u saved me from the poly urethane that goes dark in time. i have the polycrylic so thats what i'll use on stuff that might get ruined. great helpful video Patti :)
Thank you Brenda! I'm happy to help...
Patti
Wow! Thank you so much!! As a beginner, you get so much information and end up being so confused 😂😂
This is awesome. So much time will be saved researching. I'm keeping this video handy for sure!
That's great Kelly! I've made all the mistakes for you, LOL/ I learned the hard way in some cases and in others I did all of the homework before hand. I'm so happy to save someone else the time. :)
Patti
Thank you so much for this comprehensive video! I have a couple important projects that need to be done right the first time. You've saved me a lot of time!
Thank you for saving me from a headache. I needed a reminder course, much appreciated.
I am a beginner and your vids are so informative. Thank you for taking the time to show us💖
Thank you Joyous!
P This tutorial is worth it's weight in gold please do more. Thank you xx
Wow!! This video was so informative! Thank you so much! I've been so aggravated and confused about all of the top coat choices. You have cleared it all up for me. I just love your channel!!!! 😊
Thank you Teresa! I love reading this! I'm so happy to help!
Patti
That intro though!!!! Thank you for an extremely helpful video ❤
This video is very helpful!!
Wanting to know what adhesive did you use for your map/chart on the table??
amzn.to/3MCKlCx. it's the Americana Decoupage Glue :) Thank you for your feedback!
Patti
Thank you for your video, Can I use Polycrylic directly on the decoupaged paper without top layer of mod Podge?
It’s really very helpful, is the polycrylic suitable for water proofing or can be used for items that subjected to water
The title sequence is awesome and made me laugh!
Your channel is so helpful. This is a great, informative video! Thank you
New here to decoupage and I made the mistake and used a clear wax over a decoupaged table. I absolutely love it but realize now that it can easily be damaged. Is there a hard top coat I can use over the waxed top to save this table and make it durable?
Thank you for taking time to present this video. This helped me tremendously. You always give info. Thank you!!
aww, thank you Brenda!
Patti
Wow this is the video I was looking for!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🌸 🥰👏. I will definitely keep watching it when finishing my projects.
Thank you! You answered all my questions!
Can I used any of these on fabric I am going to decoupage my granddaughters dresser:
Can I use the triple think to use as a top coat for coasters? And would I put in over after applying triple think?
Very helpful video,have picture that seemed duller than it was,my son used polyurethane to recoat and now it looks messed up! He used sponge brush instead of bristle type brush!
What should you use for a high gloss waterproof lacquer?
What varnish or glue dosent yellow over time?
I Love Triple thick. Thank you
Hello ma'am..very informative video.. just a small query..do we need to lacquered the project after our decoupage work..wat is lacquered
Hi, fellow New Jersian! This video is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
This has been the biggest problem, as I've tried many different types. The hardware recommend a minwax spray polyurethane.
Hi Sirley, My hardware store clerk said, "What in the world is this deco, what is it now?" I've been doing this for so long that I've experimented with and used all of these top coats at different times for different projects. It can get daunting can't it?
Thanks for stopping by!
Patti
Could you use a tongue oil over decoupage or would that yellow?
This was incredibly helpful, thank you. I’ve been watching your videos for years. Love them!
Loving your videos! You're so informational and thorough. Thank you very much!
Best finish/sealer (non-yellowing) to use for newspaper decoupage wall project?
Excellent video!
I wonder if you could help me with something please? I am putting a napkin on a piece of painted plywood...(only on one corner). How can I 'blend' it so it looks like it's been printed directly onto the plywood? Will the torn edges of the napkin blend better, with the more layers of varnish I put over the top please? x
Is the Polycrylic WATERPROOF? I need a sealer for some serving trays I'm working on.
Yes, I believe after it completely dries the poly part makes it water resistant. Not sure I would trust soaking a piece in water but for a tray you should be fine. I have 4 coats on a kitchen table and it cleans up wonderfully!
I put varathane over decoupage and it was a disaster. Within hours the ink in the pictures had changed & smeared. Never again.
I enjoy your video and the fun you had at the beginning with music and editing. I would like to make my own mailers out of used packing paper. Do you have a sealer that you would recommend? I do not want to use aersols, so I would prefer something I can brush on, such as the water-based polyacrylic sealer you described.
This paper came in Amazon boxes (brown) and I also have some that is from a roll of butcher paper. I also do a lot of dye work, and I use this paper from my brother's Amazon purchases to absorb the dye and help flip my work, as I do an intricate dye that involves layering dyes differently on each side. A lot of explanation...These papers are so beautiful that I hang them out to dry when I am done dying and save the tie-dye paper in all sorts of colors. I would like to make my own mailers with these using some sort of sealer, as the post office requires the brown paper to be taped, or have contact paper, or be sealed.
Great video! Loved the intro. Question: I’ve just prepped a wood table. Top has light coat stain. I’d like to adhere fall leaves and wine labels. What should I use please?
Thank you!! Which one would you say would be best for kitchen tiles stove and sink back splashes?
for the tiles I would use an engine top coat spray since they are designed to handle high heat. Give them about a full week to cure b/f using. You would need to get those in an automotive store. Sink back slashes just need to be waterproof so as long as you add enough coats (apron 4 or more if you would like) you should be ok with a polycrylic but I personally love resin, nothing else looks like resin except for glass.
Oh wow, thanks so much. I can't spray, I live in an apt. and neighbors complain of the smell if I use my homemade cardboard box spray booth outside. I end up using my good old Min Wax polycrylic gloss but I get bad paint brush strokes and I'd like more gloss - any suggestions? I need a paint on with a better gloss - anything? Which one would you suggest for heat resistant coasters, maybe the Minwax Helmsman spar urethane varnish paint on?
Hi! I just finished my first decoupage on a mailbox. I coated with Gator Hyde by Dixie Belle and was wondering if I should spray the Minwax Helmsman on it too. I’m worried that it’s mostly white and is like to avoid yellowing. Thank you!!
How many coats of the Minwax Helmsman spar urethane did you put on your outdoor map table?
I have a flipdown table on my rv that will be outdoors occasionally (it's on the inside of my rear doors) ...also, I'll cook on this table too, eventhough I won't have hot hot stuff directly on it.
Also, you said use poly acrylic instead of polyurethane because polyurethane will eventually yellow ...won't the spar urethane yellow too? Thx in advance. - Mike
Very informative. Thank you for sharing. I have a problem with top coatings for decoupage (done with Mod Podge) being sticky, even years after application. For example I made stacking trays and coated them with polycrylic, and can’t stack them because they will stick to each other. Can you recommend a coating or wax that could be applied over polycrylic? Or perhaps another combination of mediums for decopauging and topcoat, or other solution for stickyness? Thanks so much in advance for your help. 😊
Hi Jeanne, I know a lot of people like Mod Podge but it's for that exact reason that you mention I do not like it at all. It's too thick, sticky and when it's hot or humid it can get gooey, and if you have something like polycrylic over it, that gets sticky as you've found out too. For napkins I use Viva Decor Napkin decoupage glue which I can find with free shipping on Amazon sometimes, but not always, in the craft stores I think it's easier to find Collage Pauge which is a very good decoupage glue for all other papers. Both of these are thinning, dry quickly and you don't get any of that stickiness. So you can add a top coat like poly, and you're fine. I used MP when I first started out but once I tried other decoupage glues I found that they were superior. MP can be used for other crafts but it's almost like a craft glue! I hope I was able to help you out some. Thanks for stopping by!
Patti
patioelf thank you so much for your reply and suggestions. I will look up both of those products. 🤗
I have a desk that I decopauged the top. I want it not shiny but waterproof. It will be used as a desk. What should I use? Thanks
spar varnish is waterproof as well as weather proof. A 2 part resin is super glossy and looks like glass but is also water proof.
Very helpful video, thank you!
Is it possible to use yacht varnish gloss as a coating?
OMG!!!! THANK YOU!! 🙏🙏THANK YOU!! 🙏🙏 This video answered to all of my questions about varnishes ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Marcel! I'm happy to help!
Patti
Do you have a video on your opinions on different decoupage napkin glues?
So helpful, thank you so much, those bottles are perfection.
aww, thank you Magdalena, left to my own devices I would make video's of bottles all the time. I try to change it around though. ;)
Patti
How did I miss this one Pat???
Is it time for an updated video? Oh, & could do a video on Glitter.
You’re so good I love your teaching
Best intro EVER!!!
I am starting to work outside of the box.....have used American Accents to do drawers in the leather look.....but I am redoing my bedroom....I was sidewalk antiquing and found a queen size cannon ball bed frame.....the center of the headboard, I want to give it a leather look.....can I use acrylic paint diluted to give it some color and then do a finish coat
That was very helpful thank you,specially when u explain about polycrylic :)
So very helpful as always! Love all of your CZcams work 😊
Patti, thank you so much for all the information, love all your work.
Thank you Joyce! My pleasure...
Patti
THE TRIPLE THICK IS A GREAT PRODUCT.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT IS THAT OVER TIME IT TURNS VERY YELLOW☹☹☹
Very informative and answered my question. Thanks for all the info.
Woow that's nice .. Can i use polycyclic minwax for the glasses or it's just for furniture? Thank you
Great information! Very clear! Thank you 😊
Hi which is the best for water proofing eg to wash in water?
Can these be used as glueing decoupage first before sealing?
I put Mod Podge over photos for tile coasters. Will the poly acrylic be good to use on 16:59 top of that so hot mugs don’t stick to it?
Thank you for taking the time to cover this!
ps: your flowers are gorgeous!
rubymimosa I agree!
Thank you so much!
thank you!
Thank you for this helpful info !!!
Great introduction! Loved it.
Music....... it killed everything.
You never talk about Rust-0leum Clear that was sitting on your table. I was waiting for that :(
Did you ever find out if it's a good product to use? I have this product. I want to know if it's a good fit for my project.
Rustoleum is good stuff!
Me too! Rust-oleum triple thick clear gloss
LMAO I love the intro!
Thank you for the knowledge. Which is best for cloth
Very informative!!! Thank you. Would the Minwax Polycrylic be the best to cover coaster so hot cups can be put on them w/o sticking to the coaster?
Hi Linda, here's a very good article that can help you even further. (thank you!) www.thesawguy.com/polycrylic-vs-polyurethane/
Patti
What about leather. If you decopadge a pair of boots how would you waterproof them?
What about coasters that will be used for hot mugs?
What top coat should I use on a fabric decoupaged nightstand ?
I am so impressed by that video appreciated 💐
Loved the intro!!
Hi. Which one do you recommend for coasters that are decoupage and stenciled?
Very Informative!
I've decoupage a small chalk paint
table.
Was going to wax the legs,but stuck what would i use to protect the
paper decoupage on top.Would modge podge be OK.
Any chance you have a recommendation of a spray that can waterproof non edible food props. I am wanting to preserve and waterproof a fondant covered dummy/foam. Ideally no sheen and non yellowing. Thanks!
Thank. You for sharing. Very helpful. 👍
Very helpful, thank you. I use Polycrylic for lots of surfaces - it's great x
Do you think it can be used to seal a rolling tray?
@@OhYesAquarius I'm not sure what you mean when you say a 'rolling tray'? x
A weed rolling tray.. everyone is making them. I'm just looking for a better sealant to use.
@@OhYesAquarius I've never heard of those. It's a good sealer though, hard wearing x
@@Sooz3112 thanks ♥️
Can I use triple thick on coasters would it withstand hot mugs ?
Varnishes and sealers.
Thanks for the info!
Pat
My pleasure!
Patti
What would you recommend to decoupage an illustration onto a table with one dried coat of water based polyurethane (to seal it first)? thank you!
I am trying to harden and put a shine on a fabric design. ( Cotton yarn / acrylic yarn ). So many choices, and suggestions?
Any suggestions?
hi! i am very new with decoupaging. a friend had suggested the liquitex to use for decoupage. i'd like to know if i use it as an adhesive to my mulberry paper & over it to kind of seal it, will i be able to distress my decoupage in case i need to? thank you....
