I want to make coasters and use this to seal them--how soon could I use the coasters after applying? I can't wait 4 weeks, do I need a different kind?

I don't think you need to wait four weeks. Maybe a week. This has a nice smooth finish, too. Obviously the longer they cure the better, but four weeks is a lot. I would use just one coaster several times and see how it does. Mod Podge also makes a spray on acrylic seAlsealer, supposed to be waterproof. Apply it outside, the smell is a bit trippy. :) The smell does go away eventually. There is an outdoor mod podge (green label) that I believe is somewhat waterproof. The finish feels tacky, though, so I use the hard coat as the last coat.

I used it to seal the top of a small play stage I made for a 3 year old. It was being tap-danced on 24 hours after application with no problems. I think your coasters would be fine after a day or two.

Actually it dries fast, let's say from one day to another if you don't use too many layers. I did three or four and the table is perfect, I had some stuff on it and left no residue. If you'd like to - you can do three or four layers, then next day use them and then when you'll be able not to use those coasters for a couple of days - add some more layers to ensure that nothing would be destroyed soon. Ah, between layers wait at least 15-20 minutes, cause at first it looks a bit white, but after it dries - get totally transparent, this means you can start the next layer ;)

I mainly use my coasters with cold and noticed that the water pooling did cause some damage. It seems hot might cause an indent or melt. :-/

Make sure the floor is fully dry and not tack at all, but the instructions say not to wait longer than 5 days. I did my floor coating, waited three days and then applied the clear. Looks fantastic and the included anti slip is nice!!

I bought these for my wife since she was having migraines and the fumes from the paint thinners she had been using became a real issue. acrylic paints eliminate the need for those awful types of thinners. Water to thin, and I think there is a sealer available in this same product line too. We made sure the paint is good and dry before applying any sealer, at least 24 hrs I think. hope this helps, JR.

Use the J and B and shore something up against the panel for about 24 hours or 2 days after using J and B for maximum cure time. Use a cinder block and slide up against panel so it doesn't slip during hardening process

When I used it, I waited up to 5 minutes like the directions said. If there was not an even whitish "frosting" coating on my (face,neck,upper chest,where ever) after the first 5 minutes, I applied another layer and waited up to another 5 minutes for the "frosting". Have a fan blowing on you during the 5 minute wait and be ready to jump in the shower to wash it off immediately when "frosted".

Temperature is somewhere close to hell. It gets HOT but if you take it 45 to 60 seconds at a time you'll be fine, Assuming it's about 5 to 6 inches outside dimensions your fusing will take about 3 minutes. It is very simple... you need either 90 or 96 COE glass - don't mix them. Find your colors. Get your fusing papers together and have fun. I recommend watching a few you tube videos from Debbie at Glaze Glass. Enjoy.

I found the product gets 'thicker' within 30 minutes or so. If you are adding charms, jewels etc (inside the resin) you should have plenty of working time. I usually allow mine to dry 24 hours before removing from the mold.

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

Hi there, it won't go bad if you premix it and store. We would recommend a spray bottle, as that makes for easy application. Thanks for the question!

That is too general a question to answer. How big, heavy, slippery, etc is the object ? Are you gluing something that is being suspended(like upside down?). Generally Weldbond works faster than most of the 'white' glues, and it works fastest if a thin layer is applied to each surface, (this is for situations that might be fighting gravity), allowed to get 'tacky', and then are stuck together. If you are not fighting gravity, this is not necessary. In normal drying conditions it will stick quite fast, like in several minutes, but it takes several hours for it to get hard enough to not be able to dislodge the two pieces. If the two surfaces are very impervious, like glass, it might take several days to totally harden because the moisture must evaporate, but when it does, it is very permanent and waterproof.

I have no idea. I have never tried to seal a Frisbee before. I've made coasters with Mod Podge and they have stayed water tight, if that is what you are using it for. I have used Mod Podge on plastic and it sticks. IHTH

Experimented this morning. I sprayed one with a spray acrylic. Just tested it and with just one coat the water does not seep though. I'd use more than one coat. The can I have says its for art work etc. on many surface types. I did drop water on an untreated coaster which immediately soaked it up. You might want to spray the backs also. These sprays dry quickly so you can do a couple of coats on front and back in no time.

This specific one is for wine. I have the one for Champagne - opened a bottle 4 days ago, used the Champagne Sealer, poured a glass a night and it's still perfectly bubbly tonight. 5th night. Obviously small glasses. :)

I used it to seal my marble countertops. With a clean towel, I "damp" mopped it over the countertops. Let it sit for a few hours and then repeated.

I would highly suggest that you would consider using a Gloss Water Base Polyurathane product. Application is much easier and a great deal less toxic. Several coats may be applied on the same day due to the rapid drying time. Good LUck

The website says use within the week to prevent discoloration. I used about 10 days after opening and it was fine...great product! Best sealer I have ever used period.
