If I were to spray them with a clear coat or cover them with modge podge, would the ink run? I'm planning to make coasters out of them

I sprayed them with clear coat and the only thing it did was make the wood a little bit darker

These are not water-based ink, if you want to mix them with water it won't work....But it is perfectly possible to use a paintbrush or the finger in order to hive them a form, a shape, and will not smear, don't worry!

I put electrical tape over them, which has worked great. Not sure about painting. Put the tape on them to help prevent shattering. This has nothing to do with poor manufacture, its just a property of neodymium magnets -- amazingly strong, but they chip very easily.

NO!!! If you try to use an inkjet all you will end up with is globs of ink. The ink will puddle into gray beads on the disk. I ordered these by mistake. Look for their JVC / Taiyo Yuden (JDMR-SPP-SK16) DVD-R 16X Silver Inkjet Hub Printable Blank DVDR

Hello, I use the inks for cake pops made with candy melts...I bought the black ones and also a pack o colored ones from a different vendor, I had no problem with the black ink that came in the colored pack...Also, for me to test and make sure it was not the candy melt, I always test in a white paper... none of those 2 pens wrote on the white paper, they were completely dried...

I currently use water-based markers just to be safe. However, discs I've had for two decades that were written on with a sharpie show and they no sign of deterioration. I'm not saying it's impossible for something in the ink to penetrate the disc's coating and cause damage, but I suspect people are being paranoid, and their disc failures are likely due to something else.

I don't think this would work as they are not water proofed that I know of. I use them for shipping labels only, but I always cover them with tape to make sure the ink doesn't run. Thank you!!

If they're regular photos printed on photo paper, it will work fine. But they're printed on regular paper with an inkjet or laserjet printer the ink will run unless you spray them with an artist's fixative spray first. This is true for all decoupage glosses in my experience.

Take them to kinkos and load them into the printer yourself. But to answer your question. I haven't. I doubt they would work too well in an inkjet.

Carol, just a quick note. Even though they do smear if you're not careful on smooth paper, I LOVE my pens. I'm on my second set. Just give them a minute or so to dry and cover your wrk and you'll love them and the way they look. Especially on dark paper, the silver and golds are great.

I have painted them with acrylic paint many times and it works well. I painted them white first and then the paint of choice. They were made as a card holder for a wedding.

I used this on a coaster project. I've used mod podge to adhere paper to a tile, covered in 3 coats of mod podge and then used the spray to seal it all. It's worked great for my project, but I have not actually sprayed onto plain paper, not already covered by a product.

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. :-/

These are particulate ONLY so as long as you're not creating vapors from a heat gun on the lead paint, I would think they would be OK. I would use it if I were just scraping or sanding but to be more safe and comply with OSHA, you'd likely have to use one of the VAPOR cartridges.

I do multi media, though mostly Koh-I-Noor and Sakura colored pen and ink art work on my coasters. I tried modpodge (use it a lot)-wasn't satisfied for water proofing. I'm working with Krylon Triple Thick Crystal Clear Glaze. LOVE IT!!!!! I have used it on these, on photos for coasters, art on wood, art on rocks, glass, pen work on thin paper sprayed with this looks like stained glass! Dries fast and CLEAR.Try it-They have many products-so look for that exact glaze, hope that helps. C.H.

I have not tried it in years, but in the 80s I used to use clear nail polish over some of my printing to keep it. Some inks ran, others did not. Have not tried it with the current inks. Just might try it. Also they put glare free glass over drawings so the light would not fade it so maybe a flat finger nail polish might work better than a high gloss...don't have any idea, just thinking. hope it helps.
