Omg thank you thank you thank you! I have been searching for 3 days how to seal clear glass. Everyone just blogs about their life for pages and pages and barely talks about crafting. Thanks for your honest opinion on this and for getting straight to the point. You just gained a new subscriber! 😁
What about sealing it if you are using other media on the glass? For example, I made a wine glass with my daughters thumbprints in the shape of a heart with vinyl words. I used acrylic paint for her thumbprints.
FINALLY! I feel like I have been singing out of the choir about this for soooo long! Everyone says seal it. And I did, on my first mug and I hated it to the point that I refused to make more. Finally started up again recently and no sealant works just fine! Question on printable HTV. Do you know if there is a way to seal it and/or make it weatherproof/waterproof before applying it?
Yay! So glad we could help. Also, with Printable HTV unfortunately you cannot seal it before applying like you can with Printable Vinyl. However, if it's going on something like a garden flag you can seal the whole project with Outdoor Mod Podge: amzn.to/3hgRn0I or something like that :)
@@MakersGonnaLearn Thank you for the reply!!! You guys made me fall in love with my cricut more at every new project I started. You definitely drive the machine's demand up 😊
From experience, no need to seal it but I use a heat gun to have the vinyl adhere to the glass better. The epoxy method is the only way to seal a cup but I'm too scared to play with epoxy even with protective gear 😖
Hi I am bit confusing at which one better on glass at spray or mod podge at vinyl I am new beginner of cricut (Deaf Person) ❤ Please let me know Thank you
We have one! It is a member only video that you can view if you are a member of Makers Gonna Learn on the Member-Only Facebook group. www.makersgonnalearn.com/join/
I used Cricut premium vinyl (permanent) on my glasses and I’m so scared it’s going to come off I didn’t learn about 651 until after I had completed my project. So what issues will I have once I wash them in water. I’m new to this any help will be appreciated.
Really, as long as you get a good brand, any adhesive vinyl will do well :) There is not that much of a difference between adhesives on the vinyls so really any is fine.
Advice please. Have existing glass where letters are starting to peel. Do not know how it was cared for. The glass belonged to my bossea daughter, who unfortunately passed away recently. How can she save the glass?
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion on this. Id seen it before I out mod podge on my glass 😂. Does the brand on vinyl make a difference to how long it lasts if unsealed?
I've been looking everywhere for a answer to a question. Please help! I want to add printable vinyl to shot glasses. Do I need to seal the printables before I put them on so there are no streaks? Also if I do that will it stay like regular vinyl? Thank you in advance.
I make epoxy coasters, but I am fully against using epoxy to coat. I don't think it's great to drink from a rim glass or tumblr that has epoxy at the top.
Epoxy is dishwasher safe and food safe after it's cured, per the FDA. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and safety comes first so please do whatever you're comfortable with :)
Correct! All vinyl, unsealed, and exposed to water of any temp for long will affect the adhesive. But if you seal it, you create that layer of protection.
So, you can't mod podge before cutting, and if you did, that would still just be mod podge ON the vinyl, which wouldn't change a thing. To seal something is to apply it OVER the vinyl to seal the vinyl to the glass. Hope that makes sense! :)
Is it better to use the spray polyurethane or paint it on? I need to make ornaments and am wondering if I should use the spray polyurethane or Modge Podge.
Hello! So, much like the answer in this video, we don't really recommend sealing glass/plastic ornaments with vinyl on them. Unless you plan on hanging them in your yard, the vinyl will stay on just fine for years to come.
if someone does decide to seal their glasses they should use....well i use epoxy and they dry crystal clear like glass. i would never use mod podge to seal a glass
You can absolutely do that if you'd like. Probably the best looking way to seal a glass :) I did not deep dive into it in this video because really not a lot of people have tumbler turners.
I do epoxy cups and have the set up to do epoxy. Tried epoxy on a glitter wine glass and it was a complete fail and waste of my epoxy. After watching this I'll stick to just mod podge on the glitter and not the rest of the cup.
What about if you glitter the bottom of the glass? I’m made some for Christmas and had a beautiful silver glitter and I use mod podge and it dull it horribly.
It would have been really helpful if you had shown all three sealers on the glass, not just the mod lodge. I watched that whole video expecting you to do that because you had three products. Really disappointing. Feels like I just watched a click bait video. Unsatisfying and did not deliver what was Implied by the title.

You're so welcome! Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to have you, Sharon!
Would have loved to see the look of each sealer on the glasses
I miss the dislike button

Rachel can you do a video on all the things to use Polycrylic for? I think that would be SUCH a useful video.
Thanks for the suggestion!

great video. nice disclaimer.
I have stainless steel wine tumblers that I bought from Sam's. Stainless on the inside and a solid color on the outside. Should I seal it?
Hi
I am bit confusing at which one better on glass at spray or mod podge at vinyl
I am new beginner of cricut (Deaf Person) ❤
Please let me know
Thank you
Just made my first cup and is it normal to slightly feel the edges around the letters?
Love your videos. You are awesome. Thank you for being so honest..Have a wonderful day. ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks I was definitely wondering if they were food safe and how it would look
You're welcome!
Do you or can you make a video on how to make those emojicons on your cricut machine?
We have one! It is a member only video that you can view if you are a member of Makers Gonna Learn on the Member-Only Facebook group. www.makersgonnalearn.com/join/
Which is the best to use on a light colored mug? Which of them won't turn yellow on a mostly white tumbler?
We don't recommend sealing glass
What is the best vinyl to use on a beer mug from dollar store
I used Cricut premium vinyl (permanent) on my glasses and I’m so scared it’s going to come off I didn’t learn about 651 until after I had completed my project. So what issues will I have once I wash them in water. I’m new to this any help will be appreciated.
Just hand wash and dry quickly after, and you should not have any issues :)
What’s 651?
@Candace S. what’s the difference of 651 vs cricut vinyl?
@Candace S. thank you!!
@@MakersGonnaLearn by me it still get loose after 1 time hand washing them, i do use 651, i dont understand
What brand of Vinyl is recommended for glass application?
Really, as long as you get a good brand, any adhesive vinyl will do well :) There is not that much of a difference between adhesives on the vinyls so really any is fine.
I use Oracle 651 for glass because it cures over time and the adhesive last for around 5 years.
Makers Gonna Learn I used premium permanent vinyl on glass will the vinyl come off once I wash them
@@mirandaberry9484 Eventually, yes. But that's just part of it! :) Hand wash it and dry right after washing, and it will last a long time :)
@@tanyaleavitt5652 so 651 will cure to be more permanent on glass over time? I'm worried it will peel...
Have you tried using the clear gloss sealer finish of those brands? Maybe it’s coming out foggy because those sealers are satin finish.
Is there a video on sealing water bottles?
Any advice on Crystalac？I've heard its FDA approved and non toxic compared to Epoxy
Applying any kind of epoxt-like product to glass is time consuming and difficult. We would still recommend not sealing with anything...
Would you recommend sealing mug vinyl?
th-cam.com/video/rRiSVUhEUa8/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to combat the vinyl lifting from condensation?? I keep having that problem 😭
Unfortunately no :( That's the big issue with vinyl on glass.The only thing you can do is pour room temp wine lol!
Try etching your wine glasses rather than using vinyl
@@78ElsaD that’s what I’ve been doing! Unfortunately I’d like to do some color stuff, but for monochrome designs the etching looks wonderful.
Do you have to seal the glasses? Is it important too? I’m new to this!
This video explains no, we don't recommend sealing the glass :)
So are you all using htv or regular vinyl
Advice please. Have existing glass where letters are starting to peel. Do not know how it was cared for. The glass belonged to my bossea daughter, who unfortunately passed away recently. How can she save the glass?
How did u guys add the bitmojis to your cricut?! Was it a print then cut sticker??
Yes it was!! If you're a member of Makers Gonna Learn, we have a member-only video showing how to do to step by step!
Do you use the regular permanent vinyl on glass or is there a different one that should be used?
You can use any type of adhesive vinyl on your glass as long as it's a good brand.
So which one did you used?
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion on this. Id seen it before I out mod podge on my glass 😂.
Does the brand on vinyl make a difference to how long it lasts if unsealed?
What about if I was doing sparkle wouldn’t I use I use a seal?
yes, you would have to seal the glitter if you are using it :)
I've been looking everywhere for a answer to a question. Please help! I want to add printable vinyl to shot glasses. Do I need to seal the printables before I put them on so there are no streaks? Also if I do that will it stay like regular vinyl? Thank you in advance.
They sell waterproof printable vinyl that won't smear!
Great video love it 🙌🙌
Thank you!
Those emojis on your machine are sooo cute...where did you get those done if you don't mind me asking...
We made them! Members of Makers Gonna Learn can see the full tutorial on a member-only Facebook group video :)
Why does mine feels like sticker what am I doing wrong or what paper should I use for cups and phone cases?
Here is a beginner video for using adhesive vinyl that will help you learn how to use it properly :) th-cam.com/video/f9-05OErUb8/w-d-xo.html
@@MakersGonnaLearn thank you so much🙏
I need Help 😫. I really don't wanna seal my glass Starbucks cup but the color vinyl i have is removable 😒 what can I do ?
Hand wash quickly and dry immediately. Limit all time the cup is wet
I make epoxy coasters, but I am fully against using epoxy to coat. I don't think it's great to drink from a rim glass or tumblr that has epoxy at the top.
Epoxy is dishwasher safe and food safe after it's cured, per the FDA. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and safety comes first so please do whatever you're comfortable with :)
thanks
You're welcome!
If you use sealant make sure to tApe off the drinking area.
The sealers we use are food safe after curing, per the FDA, so no need :)
Thank You Rachel This Was A Awesome Video as usual❤️‼️‼️‼️❤️
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank YOU for watching and commenting!
Thank you for this video!! Do you recommend hand washing or is using the dishwasher okay for using only the permanent vinyl on glass? Thanks
We still recommend hand washing! :) The less time theres water on the glass the better :)
How about sealing a glass with clear contact paper?
so no vinyl is dishwasher safe by itself, even at normal temperatures?
Correct! All vinyl, unsealed, and exposed to water of any temp for long will affect the adhesive. But if you seal it, you create that layer of protection.
Can you mode poge on a plate with a picture made with printable vinyl
You can!
What if you was to mod podge before cutting.?
So, you can't mod podge before cutting, and if you did, that would still just be mod podge ON the vinyl, which wouldn't change a thing. To seal something is to apply it OVER the vinyl to seal the vinyl to the glass. Hope that makes sense! :)
Is it really important to put much podge on mugs and glasses
How do you seal water slides on tumblers, without seeing it.
Does htv not work on clear like on mugs??
No HTV does not work on clear mugs :) HTV is so tricky to apply on cups anyways, we'd advise not to use it.
Is it better to use the spray polyurethane or paint it on? I need to make ornaments and am wondering if I should use the spray polyurethane or Modge Podge.
Hello! So, much like the answer in this video, we don't really recommend sealing glass/plastic ornaments with vinyl on them. Unless you plan on hanging them in your yard, the vinyl will stay on just fine for years to come.

Thank you so much!
Thank you Yall are so helpful
Yay! Thank you so much!
if someone does decide to seal their glasses they should use....well i use epoxy and they dry crystal clear like glass. i would never use mod podge to seal a glass
Epoxy is the only sealer for glass I would recommend, so go for it! :)
@@MakersGonnaLearn how do you use epoxy to seal vinyl to glass? What brand do you recommend?
what about the epoxy spray?
We don't recommend it at all. Will still leave your glass cloudy and the spray doesn't seal well.
what about using resin on a cup turner?
You can absolutely do that if you'd like. Probably the best looking way to seal a glass :) I did not deep dive into it in this video because really not a lot of people have tumbler turners.
@@MakersGonnaLearn thank you so much!

What about if you glitter the bottom of the glass? I’m made some for Christmas and had a beautiful silver glitter and I use mod podge and it dull it horribly.
Feel free to seal it if you want to :) I don't think the glitter would hold up well otherwise.
How can I seal vinyl on acrylic?
If the acrylic is clear, we don't recommend sealing it. There's no sealer that will keep it looking completely clear.
@@MakersGonnaLearn thank you, I tried it with epoxy and it came out terrible had to throw the entire cup away
can you use resin on it Like a serving tray that has a vinyl design on it
Sure, if you'd like
What about glitter?
Glitter Vinyl? Adding glitter to the cup? More info please so we can properly help you :)
@@MakersGonnaLearn sorry about that yes adding glitter to the cup
It would have been really helpful if you had shown all three sealers on the glass, not just the mod lodge. I watched that whole video expecting you to do that because you had three products.
