Is there a product (resin, proxy, etc.), that can be used to cover the top of a paper coaster; and allow a smooth clear surface keeping paper design visible?
Modge Podge
I would agree with ModPodge. Although if it isn't thick enough you may want to try something thicker like an epoxy that has a thicker glass like coating.
Thanks, I tried modge podge and didn't achieve desired outcome. I'd like it to be a clear layer to build it up
If using mod Podge, use an acrylic spray sealer also to make it durable.
I have seen pour on bar top epoxy used over a newspaper covered countertop. It might work great for your coasters, but Im not positive. There is a chance it might not stick well to the 100 percent paper.
How about polyurethane?
Thanks for the responses! I will try epoxy! I see great ideas, learn a lot, and now exploring how-to make beautiful craft! Love this site!
