Mod podge is another product that i have heard customers state they have used over their wall decal stickers.
Vinyl decal on polyurethane.
If leaving your boards natural wood brush or spray minwax polyurethane on the wood board tops let cure for 24 hours and then lightly sand with 400 grit sand paper.
Varnishing over stickers will seal them on the wood making their presence practically permanent.
Here s my take on things.
You may be right in thinking that a coat of poly then the decal and more poly may be the best route not sure about that though.
Applying polyurethane to stickers.
Let the paint totally cure dry before applying a poly clear coat to the top deck.
To get the best result use the right vinyl for your job and print it in the same way.
After varnishing you cannot remove the stickers unless you first remove the varnish.
Oil based poly would damage the vinyl decal as would any kind of solvent based coating.
With a tray like this with vinyl on it i would definitely recommend doing an epoxy resin.
It s so easy relatively affordable and they last a long long time.
I am thinking that the decal would stick better to the smooth less porous poly coating than it would to the bare wood.
Those are a spray sealer like polyurethane polyacrylic spray dishwasher safe mod podge or an epoxy.
Well today we are going to share not just one way but three different ways you can seal your vinyl decals.
Let cure dry then apply the wraps and lightly clean then apply the vinyl wraps or decals.
The polyurethane tends to curl the edges of a vinyl sticker and with the lighter adhesive the strength of the adhesive can break down.
Vinyl is a synthetic man made material made from ethylene sourced from crude oil and chlorine sourced from common salt.
On a wall decal sticker.
There are three ways that you can seal craft projects including those with vinyl.
And i ve yet to see any major issues.
If you have a wall decal matte finish and not super strong adhesive use a very light coat of polyurethane.
When working with polyurethane always make sure the room is well ventilated as it can give off harmful fumes.
The resulting combination of materials forms polyvinyl chloride or pvc resin and what is commonly referred to as plastic.
However i ve seen many do it with great success for nearly 20 years.
