Hi, I'm looking for a recipe for a water-base sealer, using Elmer's glue and water to seal salt dough ornaments. If you know, please let me know ASAP.
Thank you,
Wendy
Hi Wendy,I'm afraid any water-based sealer would dissolve the salt in your dough and destroy the ornament. My suggestion is to make a few scraps or use an ornament that didn't come out too well to test on.
I frequently use Krylon Crystal Clear spray to seal a water-based product and protect it before applying (water-based) Mod Podge or Elmer's Glue-All. That works really well for decoupage. I think it might work for your project.
For next Christmas – did you know that bread-based dough is just as safe, easy to make and work with as salt-based dough? I have Bread-Based Dough Ornaments that my young son and I made together over thirty years ago. They still go up on our tree every year – cute as the day they were made. We sealed them with Mod Podge.Best regards,
Eileen
You've been answering some tricky questions, Eileen... especially that bathroom one. Great response.
