How do I prevent rust on mason jar lids?
Made the liquid soap dispensers using mason jars but can't keep lids from rusting on the inside. Any kind of sealer I can use?
The easiest way is to pour some paint into them and roll the jar around gently so it moves up the sides. Then touch up the paint with a brush where needed.
You can also glitter them for glamour. Either put white glue known as PVA in England, allover then sprinkle on glitter. Then let dry. Then add watered down glue to the top to seal glitter.
You can also spray paint them.
Or use alcohol inks or glass paints.
You'll want to paint your jars with an adhesive primer before you paint with your desired paint color. Otherwise the paint will scratch and peel off easily.
