This did not work out with the recommended dishwasher safe Mod Podge. I made a mug for Christmas gifts using this method as instructed. I have been hand washing one mug for a month and the decal is now peeling off! I am so embarrassed that is now happening to the 20 people we received these as gifts.
I have found this dishwasher safe mod podge to not effectively seal decals on ceramics, even with 3 coats, 2 hours in between drying each coat and 1 month cure time. Decals with acrylic sealant still washed off :( and it leaves a tacky texture. Any ideas on this?
Thank you so much for this video.....i can't believe it takes such a long time for it to be ready and completely dry. Do customers wait for that long??? Like if someone wants it personalized they would have to wait for almost a month to get it??😱 or did i misunderstood?
So helpful! As always thank you for sharing your creativity, talent and inspiration. Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊
I don’t understand why they would make a mod podge specifically for the dishwasher, yet it’s not food safe?! I really can’t seem to wrap my mind around this. What would you put in the dishwasher that you’re not going to eat off of? I feel like there has to be something better out there that is dishwasher safe, and food safe 🤔🤔
@@MakersGonnaLearn Hi, can you please tell me where you found this information? Their website says it is not food safe. It doesn’t say anything about being food safe after fully curing.
Can you please tell me what I did wrong? I used the poly acrylic over top of my vinyl decal on my coffee mug, and when they washed it the poly acrylic gummed up and peeled off and also took part of my vinyl up on the cup. Can you please tell me if I missed a step or what I did wrong thank you.
I'm a newbie and though vinyl was waterproof and ok for the microwave and possibly dishwasher safe. Now I am hearing this isn't true and saw your video on sealing a mug. I like the idea but since the modge podge isn't as safe as I thought, I won't try this. I know if a kid dribbles down the outside of a cup they will lick it.

Is the Poly food safe? And what is the cure time on it? I just can't wrap my head around a month for cure time with the Mod Podge. I think they need to go back to lab on that one.
The Minwax Polycrylic is food safe! Unfortunately, for the polycrylic to be food grade safe, it also needs 28 days to cure. For ANY clear sealer to be deemed Food Safe, it has to be cured for 28 days, per the FDA
@@MakersGonnaLearn There is no reference to food safe on the spec sheet nor in the product description, it also says it is a known cancer causing agent. It also doesn't mention a 28 days cure time. Where are you getting this info? Just want to verify before I buy.
No I have Dollar Tree Stickers. I saw another video, Where they put something on like an emblem / Sticker Covered it with some kind of sealing solution, They put it in the oven & I think it was done then & ready to use & I think dish washer safe
Your tips about the cup being food safe created a question for me. If you're making these to sell, how do you present these as food safe? I get so cautious about offering things that People will be using on their skin, or like this, they will be drinking from. It's so easy to get sued nowadays. 😁
This mugs are different material. I am making glass jars but I would like to know how would I seal printable vinyl on glass. Can you please make a video or explain what would be best
So if you wanted to sell tumblers or wine glasses or other kinds of cups (clear or opaque) you have to seal it? I thought the permanent vinyl was permanent, and would stay for quite a long time so long as it’s hand washed. I haven’t gotten my cricut yet it’s still in the shipping/processing stage but I’m trying to learn as much as possible.
I was thinking, you could put a colored piece of masking to where you want to avoid putting the Mod Podge, so, no need to be careful of putting any on that area. (a little hack)
Wanting to prep & label the bottom of my mugs with permanent vinyl…but am I able to put them in my cricut mug press after that?? .. only bcuz I design my mugs after they are ordered. Want to start the curing process &be ready in advance once an order is placed . *HELP 💜
I just bought a new cricket machine I unboxed it and never used it because I don’t know what to do do you guys have any clase that will teach me how to use my machine
I use polycrylic clear satin with the same brush you're using on a coffee mug. I cleaned it with alcohol prior sealing. However, on the back part of the cup, the polycrylic started to get sticky & wasn't going on smooth. It got messed up will like to know how I can fix it. Can it be removed since it's on the part without decal & it's just the 1st coat?
It must have been your cup. It must have had some residue on it or something. Also, unfortunately you can only really remove it if it's still wet, so you could have wiped it off with a rag with alcohol on it right after you brushed it on, but if it's dried, there's not really much you can do. Sorry!
I see you use clear satin, i have glossy, and they even have semi gloss. Should i use clear satin on mugs? I use glossy for glitter crafts but have never tried it on mugs. Would it look too shiny???
Love your channel.. I am a new Cricut owner. So the mini wax is better for not showing brush strokes? I was disappointed in the Modge Podge because I could see the brush strokes. Would using a cloth be better? Or should I just used Mini wax? I bought my mugs from Dollar Tree.
My 6 yr great-grand-daughter is wanting to put her infant sister's name on a sippy cup, 1) will the vinyl stick to a vinyl/plastic cup? 2) which would be best way to seal the vinyl, I'm leaning toward the poly. Of course sippy cup will have a lid on it. Thank you.
Hello! Yes the vinyl should stick, just be sure to clean the cup with rubbing alcohol first to help the vinyl stick even better! Yes, we recommend the poly as well :)
colored mugs will show the brush-strokes more than a light color. Make sure you're using a nice soft brush and that you're covering the whole mu with the product.
Regarding the 'food safety', if it's not, you don't want it to touch your lips OR the liquid (food) in the mug. Just saying... Being a ceramic artist, knowing if a food container is 'food safe' is important. Thanks for all of your great videos!
Would you use this same process to seal a decal on a plastic or stainless steel cup? I'm a newb. Already gifted a plastic one unsealed. 😬 And am doing a stainless steel cup for my dad soon. So I'd love to know.
I have a specific video all about sealing vinyl on tumblers coming out 7/21 at 1:30PM EST, keep your eye out for it! We recommend using a different sealer for that, and the process is a bit different. But the video us sure to answer all of your tumbler sealing questions!

Can we begin using the mug once the mod podge has completely dried up before the 30 days if we’re planning on hand washing instead of using it in the dishwasher ??
Yes, it will be fine for colored mugs, but we don't recommend it for clear glass or acrylic mugs because while it does dry clear it will definitely be noticeable on glass/clear.
I sealed a mug using Polyacrylic and a few days after, it started peeling, 3 layers, waited 21 days for it to cure, the mug was fine for 1 week and now it's peeling off and it looks horrible . I have also tried the Mod podge Dishwasher safe and it looks horrible, matt and the brush strokes can't be avoided. I loved the new Ultra, spray, Mod podge, it looks beautiful, but I wonder if this one is ok for mugs, and if we need to let it cure for 28 days. What else do you recommend?
If you're having so many issues, don't seal the mug :) I have mugs with vinyl that aren't sealed and they have lasted a good long while being properly taken care of
@@MakersGonnaLearn there's only a few designs that I would love to seal because of their thin lines or small parts , but most desings I'm able to "offset" and make lines bigger. 97 % of my mugs don't need anything and they are fine. But I was excited to have more options without worrying about the design. I guess I'll eventually have to get a sublimation printer.
We don't recommend that, no. Don't seal them for your customers OR send them with a note that says you've sealed it for them but they still need X amount of days to fully cure. Hope this helps!
If you want to get this mug wet, you'll need to use Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge: amzn.to/354190H . Regular Mod Podge will get tacky when wet. Use dishwasher safe and allow it to cute for 28 days and it will be food and dishwasher safe :)

I second sqbutt25 question. Totally understand that Mod Podge leaves brush strokes so it works well with light colors. But what about for a black coffee mug? Is Polycrylic the only option available for dark colored mugs? Thank you for all the videos!
How do you prevent brush stoke lines? I have used Modpodge to seal photo magnets and I always get brush stroke lines. They are ugly and I wouldn't want these on a mug. Any advise is appreciated
I used Polycrlic on my mugs, and when I put something cold in them the sealant begins to chop away, can you let me know if I am doing something wrong? Or not enough coats?
@@MakersGonnaLearn thank you. So even with polycrylic cure time is still 28 days? What’s the longevity if customers wash it without sealing? If I’m using oracle 651?

Just got my first cricut yesterday! Is I choose the resin to avoid streaks, do I still have to seal with mp for a final step to be dishwasher safe etc? Assuming not but just want to be sure. Your videos are the most helpful so far, thank you 💜
We don't recommend spray sealer for this. The spray just doesn't apply the same nice even coats and better seal that occurs by brushing a sealer on :) Also, per the FDA, these clear sealers are food safe and dishwasher safe after a cure time of 28 days.
Love your channel! This video was super helpful for permanent, but could this be done for HTV on mugs? I saw someone's HTV design melt off in the dishwasher and was like 😯 shit. I'd love a vid on HTV on mugs, if possible - the wood one was _hugely_ helpful! 💕💖
Hello! So, using HTV on mugs is very difficult and we have only had a few successful projects using that method. Also, even if you use HTV you will still be required to seal it if you want to get it wet at all. With the method in this video your mug will be food safe and dishwasher safe once fully cured.

Can I use the the polycrylic spray? Also is it dangerous, and will it dry clear?
We don't recommend spray sealer for this. The spray just doesn't apply the same nice even coats and better seal that occurs by brushing a sealer on :) Also, per the FDA, these clear sealers are food safe and dishwasher safe after a cure time of 28 days.
@@MakersGonnaLearn is the spray safe?
Love your channel! This video was super helpful for permanent, but could this be done for HTV on mugs? I saw someone's HTV design melt off in the dishwasher and was like 😯 shit. I'd love a vid on HTV on mugs, if possible - the wood one was _hugely_ helpful! 💕💖
Hello! So, using HTV on mugs is very difficult and we have only had a few successful projects using that method. Also, even if you use HTV you will still be required to seal it if you want to get it wet at all. With the method in this video your mug will be food safe and dishwasher safe once fully cured.
Can you use the spray adhesive seal mod podge to seal????
We don't recommend spray sealer for this. The spray just doesn't apply the same nice even coats and better seal that occurs by brushing a sealer on :)
Is using a brush the only way to apply mod podge?
It's the best way, yes.
