Seal vinyl

Recommended Posts

I am trying to seal a vinyl cutout to a dish. I saw online a person painted something on top so that the vinyl wouldn't peel off and I can't seem to find what product I need to use. I want to be able to cutout monograms etc and put them on some vintage dishes I have. I have used Blair spray, liquitex and several other sprays as well as heat and none of them make the vinyl not peel up. The one I have was given to me as a gift from the etsy business, but all she would tell me was that she didn't use a spray. HELP!!! Does anyone know what product I need to use. The dish I have you can't see brush strokes or even tell where something was put ontop of the vinyl, it just has no edges where it can be peeled off.

are you sure it's vinyl under there?

 

I thought the same thing.  Are you sure it's not a painted on design (using a vinyl stencil) or maybe even dye sublimated?

Polyurathane, poured on?  Dooming stuff?  Ceramic glaze?  Is it hard as the dish?  Can ya mark it with your thumbnail?

Yes it's as hard as the dish, can't make marks on it with my nail. There's no marks to even see where something was applied, but you can tell there's a clear coat of some sort on top of the vinyl.

Sure sounds like it's not applied vinyl...  Got a link to an Etsy listing for something similar?

Based on the usage I'd bet it's just spray can clear coat.

I tried a few different sprays but it doesn't seal it and some of them made the vinyl edges curl up

I clear vinyl onto ceramic tile quite a bit without peeling. I think it's krylon from Walmart.
