I need to seal a book cover. I am looking for something that is clear, not tacky and has minimal brush strokes. Will this work or something else?

This is a surface prep medium. Not to be used as a top coat. Also, this doesn't dry completely clear like you would think. I suggest a spray varnish or something like modge podge.

I don't know. This is the first time I have used this product. I bought it to seal paper clay dolls. It seems to do a good job of sealing. It is a slightly shiny finish and stays sticky for a short while.

I am sorry to say but I can't answer your question. I used Woodlife Classic outdoors as a sealer so that my regular paint would have a good surface to hold the paint.

I am no expert, but I just read a blog and the woman swore by using polyacrylic clear sealer, it's water based, instead of using wax. She actually used a certain brand of clear deck sealer. I found this on Pinterest. I'm going to try it sounds easier than wax.

you would need to remove paint where you intend to seal. it worked on my aluminum boat very well. use with confidence. make sure to follow directions.

It's super thick and would likely clog a spray bottle. I would say it's similar to Elmer's white craft glue. I applied it with one of those little foam black brushes. It goes on opaque but dries clear. Also, it takes time to dry (I gave it a full 24 hours) so you have time to shape and mold it before it stiffens.

really depends upon the ink you're using-dye vs pigmented and in combination with the paper. I would hesitate to assume that your water-based sealant would work, try it on a different print-with your inks and see what the results are. The ink in my printer is dye based and is a little more unstable than the pigment based and would bleed. The paper does a great job, but I probably look to find a different sealant-not water based. might work

It is clear. But I got mine and the waterproof seal doesn't stay closed. I might have a dud but it's up to you

Masking tape is not meant to stick permanently and will easily pull away in a short time. Vinyl tape will adhere, but tends to crack over time and seems to shrink leaving the glue exposed which can be very messy. I like the book repair tape because it is more like a fabric without the gloss of the vinyl tape. The book repair tape, which I have used on the spines of several books, is durable and definitely has a more professional appearance on my book shelf. I recommend it.

Yes in my opinion I think it would help in sealing the bead. It is very thick and needs to be thinned with water, even that is a chore. Once you get some thinned down it works very well. I would buy again.

It will seal and protect pine bark just fine. Be aware that it is a gloss finish and will make the final product somewhat shiny. If the item will be outdoors and exposed to the elements, you should consider a water-proofer product instead.

For my purposes, I did not need any kind of sealant, but I was painting over latex paint and onto a canvas. I'm not sure if you'd need a sealant for other purposes.

I haven't used it on the interior door seals during the winter...I will tell you a little trick that does work pretty good though - plain old petroleum jelly. Unless it gets super cold, petro jelly works pretty good to keep interior seals from sticking in winter. I use the Gummi Pflege on my exterior window seals and it works great if you work it in. Other protective sprays didn't provide me with an even coat on my car. A lot of the newer cars have went to more of a rubber/silicone compound that is supposed to last longer and not dry out as much - I prefer good ole' fashioned rubber seals. The new stuff seems to be affected more by pollutants in wash water and rain water.

This material is pretty thick, as long as it doesn't have to curve too much it should work. I used this on a corn hole game board, then coated it with clear acrylic. You might also consider Inkpress CF851120 Clear Film. Its quite a bit thinner, but its not adhesive. I used spray adhesive, then also coated it with clear acrylic to protect.

Don't know about seals but books inside a sealed container might work it really worked in my refrigerator. Not that it smelled bad ,...I like the ozone smell .. Sorry I can not be more help

This is laminated wood, so it is easy to wipe up/off. I don't think you need to separately seal it. But if so, a water sealant should be adequate, but make sure it is oil based so it will adhere to the laminated surface.

oh wow....I have no idea. I can't begin to figure it out. A lot would depend on how many coats you think you need. I'm sorry, I wish I could help. I do know that for the price I am pleased with what I use it for. Also, finding the clear one in the stores is near impossible. So far this is the only one I found that works for the outdoor areas I wish to seal.
