How can I seal copper leaf?




Is there a good sealer for copper leaf...something other than the speed ball brand that is hard to find?

Go to amazon.com and type in how to seal copper leaf in the search bar. I was at least on other brand besides speed ball listed.
Or try a general online search such as Google, I imagine you'll find plenty of products.

Mod Podge should work.
It would be the same for silver or gold leaf. Look at Hobby Lobby.
Also try Michaells.
I have an entire line I use from Hobby Lobby and Micheals. There is a spray sealer just for gold/silver/copper leaf applications. It is the brand with the Mona Lisa on the front. Now ...that is an entire line of products but I don't believe it is real metal leaf. It is an affordable option. If you are referring to using the real stuff (real gold leaf) it is extremely expensive and you may need to go to a specialty art store and talk to them about how to seal it correctly. But more than likely, especially if you are using copper leaf, you are referring to the affordable Michaels products. Good Luck!
