Sealing Sharpie Crafts
To ensure your Sharpie creations last, it's essential to seal them correctly. Here's a summary of sealing techniques for various surfaces:
| Surface | Sharpie sealing method | Additional tips | |-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------| | Fabric | Heat set by ironing; optional fabric sealant or acrylic spray | Let dry fully before ironing | | Ceramic | Bake in oven at 350°F for 30 mins; clear acrylic spray | Let ink dry 24 hrs before baking | | Metal | Multiple coats of clear acrylic spray or Mod Podge | Use hair dryer to cure ink before sealing | | Plastic | Clear acrylic spray or Mod Podge | Allow drying and multiple coats | | Glass | Clear acrylic spray; Maker’s Magic sealer | Let each coat dry; 2-3 thin layers preferred|
For outdoor or heavy-use items, specialized sealers made for the surface type and curing methods (heat or baking) will provide the best protection.
