Thank you so much !! Im learning so much from you!
Wonderful! There are lots of dp sealers out there, but this one is by far my favorite! It’s easy to use, economical, and doesn’t dull the sparkle of the diamonds or turn the canvas yellow! 😁. So glad you’re here! 😁❤️👍🏻
I used the diamond painting sealer and it turned out gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful! Im so glad you had a good experience with it, too! It’s definitely my favorite! Seals but doesn’t sacrifice the sparkle! 😁❤️👍🏻
❤thank you love it
Thanks for watching! Have a wonderful day! 😁❤️👍🏻
I use polycrylic from minwax as well to seal my budget friendly canvases & off canvas projects. Thanks your sharing. Snoopy came out awesome :)
Thanks so much! I definitely like the polycrylic over the other options! Keeping that “diamond sparkle” is very important! 😁❤️👍🏻
Fab video ma’am, so I need sealant now there’s a lot to learn ! But I love your videos I learn something all the time x
Oh, thank you! You don’t have to use sealant, I find it depends more on what you do wirh the item when you’re finished that sort of makes the decision. If you’re going to put the canvas is a frame that has either glass or acrylic panel in front, you don’t really need to seal it. If you wanted to make magnets out of the coasters and not actually use them under condensation heavy drink glasses, it may be totally fine not to seal them. 🤷♀️. Really, it’s personal preference. 😁❤️👍🏻
@@Diamondsandstuff-tm6ux aah I get it now ! I am looking forward to having a go soon x
This is some great info. Thank you. I have been wondering about this for quite some time. I have some large ones that were alot of work. I didn't frame them because I wasn't sure which product wouldn't ruin them or cause yellowing. Niw I won't be worried.😊💕
I’m happy you found the info useful! Of all of the products I have tried, this one really seems to be the best option, (and I have ruined some canvases finding this out 😕,) the only thing I haven’t been able to test is longevity. My canvases are about a year old and holding up perfectly, but I don’t know how they will do at the 10 year mark. Based on what Ive seen so far, I have high expectations! I especially like that the diamonds stay sparkly, and don’t yellow with age!! 😁❤️👍🏻
👍Not going anywhere personally, feel like this is a perfect fit.
Awesome! Glad to have you here! If you have any questions, feel free to ask away! I hope you continue to enjoy the content! 😁❤️👍🏻
Thank you for this tip!!! I had seen others do tests with all sorts of products and some were better than others, but they all seemed to dull the drills to one extent or another, so this sounds like a winner.
And btw, keep telling it like it is... there are still a few of us around that are okay with discussing our differences of opinion rather than screaming over top of each other or immediately playing the victim card. Please tell your husband I said thank you for his service over the years to keep us safe and free 🇺🇸
Thank you so much! I have definitely had better luck with the polycrylic than anything else. Let me know how you like it! 👍🏻. I don’t understand what has happened to the people in this country. 🙄. We used to consider differences of opinions to be constructive and a chance to learn something we may not have known, and now it’s like someone that disagrees becomes public enemy number one. 🤦♀️. I’ll definitely keep calling it as I see it! 😁. Hubby says thank you for still believing in our military personnel! 😁❤️👍🏻
@@Diamondsandstuff-tm6ux I definitely love our [non-woke] military folks and this country. I know that this is still the best place on Earth, even with the insanity we're seeing today, like what you mentioned about not being able to discuss or debate in a non-confrontational manner (among many other things). The fact that we're seeing this level of crazy in people today on a global scale screams end times to me. Not sure if you're a Christian (I won't hate on you or argue with you if you're not), but the Bible hits the nail right on the head about all this... "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people..." (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Keep fighting the good fight and don't cower when "crazy" fights against you... there's no getting away from it and there's no pacifying it without throwing your convictions out the window. I'll get off my soap box now 😉 I hope y'all have a wonderful day, and I will be watching your upcoming videos!!!
Thank you...👍👍
My pleasure! 😁❤️👍🏻
Hey, before I seal my painting, I tape it with duck tape to table. I can straighten all waves ( like stretch it ) and when it is dry it is comletely even. Just a hint 😉
Great! Thanks for adding this “tip” in here! Love it! 😍 Have a great day! 😁💜👍🏻
Thank your husband for his service! Almost all my family ( dad, brother, brother in law) and most of my husbands family were and are serving in the military! I just did my first ever coasters and am new to dp. These coasters are my sister’s birthday gift. I will get the polycrylic and brush next month on payday and seal those. Is there a strong bad smell? My nose is very sensitive to chemicals and I’m already planning on wearing gloves.
Welcome to my channel and to this thoroughly fun and addicting hobby! I will tell my husband! Thank you for your graciousness! Nope, no strong smell, which is one of the things I like best about this sealing product! Im sensitive to chemical smells also (especially aerosol sprays,) they give me a pounding headache. This sealer has a barely discernible “clean” smell, that truly is hardly noticeable! I think you’ll find it easy and pleasant to use! Let me know what you think when you try it! Please thank your family members for their service as well! Have a wonderful weekend! 😁❤️👍🏻
👋Hi. I just ordered the Minwax sealer on Amazon,i need it to seal dp coasters, key chains fridge magnets etc.I paid €25 for the tin but i think its going to be worth it.Thanks from Ireland.💚
Hi! Wow, Ireland! 😃. Welcome to my channel! That’s definitely a price increase over what it typically costs, but I think you’re going to be really happy with it! Please let me know what you think when you get a chance to try it! This has been the best sealer I jave found for securing drills (especially for off canvas projects like you’ve described,) and preserving the shine and sparkle of the drills!! Hope you find it helpful too! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😁❤️👍🏻
A great video I am going to try this method to seal my painting I used mod podge did not like how it came out so will try this thanks hope all ur dragons are doing well
Awesome! Let me know what you think when you try it! All the dragons are FINALLY down for the count! Tomorrow will be 3 full months for Smoulder and Ruby, and Finn and yes, even Merlin, are slumbering peacefully! Thank you for asking about them! 😁❤️❤️❤️👍🏻
Thanks for sharing this! What do you do with the extra drills left over from your paintings?
@@FunwithLorissa Thanks so much for watching! I keep the resin drills from premium companies, along with any special drills (AB’s, crystals, etc.,) on large bead or thread organizers! The little bags that are often provided with a lot of kits work perfectly for this purpose, and you can write the dmc code number right on the bag with a sharpie! 😊. I usually don’t keep the acrylic drills with budget kits unless I really love the color, or they’re especially sparkly, or something of that nature! I have one of the giant coke bottle banks, that I am currently filling with the drills Im not keeping for a purpose, and it’s kind of a pretty “objet d’art”!! When it gets full if I don’t have a use for them at that point, they’ll be sent to the round file! I dod give a bunch of them to a friend who likes to make a form of beanie babies, to use for stuffing, and she was thrilled! What do you do with your extra drills? 😁❤️👍🏻
Have you tried wiping the sealer off the tip of the drills with a damp cloth so their natural finish can show but the gaps inbetween drills are still sealed?
Yes, I have, and that also works as long as you’re gentle wiping off the excess. With this particular product, you don’t really need to though, because it dries completely clear, and doesn’t dull the shine at all! One of the reasons I like it better than other sealant products! Have a great day! 😁💜👍🏻
Hello. Thank you.. do you get small bubbles once the sealant dries off? I did get it from one of the sealers and looking for help to resolve it.. thank you again..
Hi! I have not had any bubbling so far. It might be the consistency, but that has not happened on any of the canvases or off canvas projects I have sealed so far. I haven’t even seen any bubbles form. I have used both thick and thin coats of this sealant, and it always dries clear. What type of applicator are you using to apply it? I use a brush as you saw in the video, but if you use a foam applicator, they are prone to bubbling. I have one sealer that has a thick foam top meant to be used with it, and that sealer does bubble. Be sure to use a brush or silicone spreader to apply sealer, and you should have better results! 👍🏻. I’ll be showing some sealed off campus projects in today’s video, so stay tuned! Thanks for watching! 😁❤️👍🏻
I Love Snoopy. But I was unable to get this design. But I am glad to see the house is RED. I did one from Diamond Dotz and they made the house pink🤦♀️
A pink house?! For Snoopy?! No way! 😧. Sorry to hear that. This one came on the advent calendar from DAC, but I’m sure it will be for sale during the year! It only had 9 colors, lots of color blocking, and went really fast! 😁❤️👍🏻
Do you stir or shake the min wax before applying?
Usually just a quick stir with the brush tip before applying it to the canvas. It stays pretty well mixed! 😁❤️👍🏻
Can you tell us why not a polyurathane product?
Polyurethane is produced by the reaction of an isocyanate with a polyol. It is not meant for fabric, (such as dp canvas,) it is meant mainly for non-porous surfaces. It is also extremely flammable, and tends to yellow with age. These are the main reasons polycrylic is recommended over polyurethane. Hope this helps! Have a great day! 😁❤️👍🏻
It’s expensive here in the UK. One little pot of 8fl oz/236ml is £24.68. Which is a lot for such a small can. I’m hoping this small pot will cover my 120cms x 121cms ok. I know it won’t do 2 coats at all. Sad😢
I’m sorry it’s so costly there. 😟. If you can get it through Amazon, it may be less expensive. Really, one coat should be enough, and 8 oz should be plenty to do that size canvas. A little goes a long way! Keep me posted on how it works for you! Have a great week! 😊💜👍🏻
Prehaps try Polyvine gloss. It's a similar thing. A tiny bit goes a long way.
Does DAC neeeed to be sealed? I feel like the glue is good quality to where they won’t fall off. I’m just now doing my first one so unsure 😂
No! In fact, if you seal a canvas from DAC, it voids the lifetime warranty!!! Just seal from budget friendly companies!!!! 😁❤️👍🏻. Good job asking before you tried it!!
@@Diamondsandstuff-tm6ux thank you!!!! I will definitely keep it away from them!!
do you seal partials? If so do you seal all of the canvas?
Hi! Yes, I do seal partials, as they’re very likely to have specialty drills that have a silver back, and a tendency to not age very well! I don’t generally seal the entire thing, I usually start about a quarter inch outside the “glue line”, to make sure I don’t miss anywhere. If, after it’s dry, you still feel anything sticky, give it one more coat! 😁❤️👍🏻
Have you ever used 2 coats of polycrystalline
Yes, I have! I often do with off canvas projects, especially if they’re going to be handled regularly. Especially coasters, keychains, and ornaments! Thanks for watching! Hope you’re having a great week! 😁❤️👍🏻
Ok, im kind of new to diamond painting and have only purchased cheap ones. My question is, why would you need a lifetime warranty on a diamond painting.
Hi! Main reasons to need a warranty are, if drills begin to pop off over time, canvas gets wet, becomes discolored, accidentally gets torn, poured glue lets go or becomes less sticky with age, or damaged in some other way. In theory, if you have purchased from a premium company you would be protected and would be eligible for compensation from the company. However, buyer beware-I have seen premium companies fail to stand by their warranties, because of this, if you do decide to purchase a high end canvas that is anywhere from $70-$125, be sure you find out what exactly is covered, and what is not. (Some companies, for instance, only cover problems with drills or the drill field, and nothing else is covered.). Ultimately, if you complete a premium canvas and aren’t concerned about a warranty and feel you’d like to seal it, that’s your prerogative. Welcome to this thoroughly fun and addictive hobby! I hope this helped! Have a wonderful day! 😁❤️👍🏻
If you seal it what do you need a warranty for?
Budget friendly companies don’t provide a warranty, only premium companies do that. Although, they apparently don’t always stand behind it. Check out the video on Crafty Chef Diamond’s channel that came out today for more on this subject. Thanks for watching! 😊👍🏻
I leave my washi tape on my canvases when I seal them
Loved your video! I haven’t sealed my paintings yet, but I feel more comfortable and confident after watching your video! Could you please tell me what the name of the diamond painting portrait of the woman in your video is called? I want to purchase one for myself! Very lovely!
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you found the video helpful! 😊. I originally purchased that canvas at Amazon back in October, (by putting diamond painting + Christmas angel in the search engine,) and have since tried to purchase another one to gift but it no longer seems to come up.🥺. There isn’t a maker listed on the canvas itself, but the canvas number is B5788. You might try Temu or Fansells wirh the canvas number to see if they may have gotten some in! Thanks so much for watching! Hope you’ll come back! Havw a Happy New Year! 😁❤️👍🏻
