Oh hi. Is me!
Yea, OP. For any smooth wooden surfaces to avoid urine soaking in its best to actually seal the wood with the likes of mod podge (because it’s non toxic) or PlastiKote clear sealer?

This will definitely help with keeping wooden products from not absorbing the smell so much and making them easier to clean.
For now to clean the items and get smell out you can use a 1:4 ratio of just vinegar to water. Give it a good scrub down with that solution and allow it to air dry, or you could use a hair blow dryer on lowto dry it a bit faster.
The varnish you use unless specifically water resistant won’t really work to keep it protected from pee.
> I just super glue the minis to the bases. Drop some superglue on a hard surface and use a toothpick or something to dab some under the minis and then press them onto the base. Once everything is on the base, I usually add some kind of texture, currently using the Vallejo Ground Texture paste. Or you can just flock the whole base with granulated flock to hide where the minis are glued on.
oh now this is interesting, this is something I didn't consider but is basically what I want.
>I usually do. I do spray them with Mr. Hobby super clear matte. If you can't spray then you can think of brushing on some matte sealer. Preferred that you do this before adding any flock. Sealing just helps minis from getting dinged while being handled. You can not seal them but they'll be a little more vulnerable to rough handling.
So I had a friend suggest this would a multi purpose sealer/glue be risking it too much?
go to your local craft store and buy clear, plastic ornaments. Get acrylic paint and modge podge (goes on white, dries clear and seals the paint) and have fun!

That's the matte and I use the gloss, but you get the idea. It's like a thin white glue you can use to stick things together and seal them. The finish on the gloss one comes out pretty similar to the sheen you get on a production globe.
Huh. I wonder if it's different than what I have. I have a big jug of the water-based matte brush on stuff. The label says 15-20min dry time and no mention of cure times. I've used it to seal two that I made from polymer clay, and since I'm still new to the whole silicone game I let them sit over night cause nervousness, and they actually turned out fairly decent with no issues save for not quite enough mold release on the first one.
I got mine at the local craft store but here's a link for reference purposes in case you'd like to look into it.

All that being said, I have not tried it on PLA or any other 3d printing materials, so while I don't think there will be issues, I still have yet to test it.
Use Mod Podge to attach them to something. It's a water based glue and sealer that will protect the beer coaster so it doesn't degrade with time. Pick up some tiles at Home Depot/Lowes, put some felt on the bottom and the coasters on top.

What you see in the picture is already protected with mod podge matte and sealed for waterproofing after initial peeling. Didn't help.
"Mod Podge dries clear in approximately 15-20 minutes and can be sanded to a smooth finish. Apply with brush or sponge applicator. Close container after each use. Clean up with water while wet. Once dry, Mod Podge cannot be removed. Use as a puzzle saver, a sealer glue, a quick finish, a textured finish,or a build-up finish." Non-toxic."

Hi! I've been trying to add to my snake's enclosure this weekend by looking for driftwood after reading this post and now I have questions. Why small wood? The pieces I picked up may be 2-3 inches in diameter and 2 feet long. Should I bake them a little longer?
Also, how do I tell if wood is pine or cedar? If I coated the wood with some sort of Mod Podge-type of sealer, would that be ok, in the off chance that the pieces of wood I picked up were pine or cedar? Thank you so much for your time!!
I know it sounds artsy craftsy but Mod Podge would work great for that. The matte has a low sheen and it has a durable enough finish for furniture. Check out the comment section here: http://smile.amazon.com/Podge-CS11302-Original-16-Ounce-Finish/dp/B001IKES5O/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1455413502&sr=1-4&keywords=mod+podge
She used mod-podge, which is basically a glue/sealant. First she brushed the wall with it to hold the comic in place, then pressed the comic on, used a plastic smoother blade (like a putty knife) to get rid of any air, then applied another coat of mod-podge over the comic. It dries pretty quickly, and is waterproof so we can still clean the walls. Basically mamma Viking is very handy and creative. I couldn't find any videos to show you, but hopefully my explanation makes enough sense.
Thanks! I should have mentioned! Designed in Photoshop. Label size is 3.5"x4.5" for the hefeweizen and 3.5"x3.5" for the other two. Printed on regular copy paper with a laser jet printer. Glued on with a very, very light application of Mod Podge. In a test, this stuff came off relatively easy with some hot water and light scrubbing. It's a diluted white glue used for crafting.
I've done tables with pictures and concert tickets. Just use this Mod Podge and you'll have no issues.

It's kind of like paint, but it's also a glue/sealer/finish. Here's an Amazon link to it. You can also find it in pretty much any craft store. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IKES5O/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_HDTGJZGQBKY00D84ZHJT

Maybe try mod podge?
https://www.amazon.com/Mod-Podge-Waterbase-16-Ounce-CS11302/dp/B001IKES5O
It’s made for this type of application, although I’m not sure how well it will adhere to the cooler surface.
Was it Mod Podge?
I can’t speak from experience, but I’ve heard others use mod podge with similar success.
https://www.amazon.com/Mod-Podge-Waterbase-16-Ounce-CS11302/dp/B001IKES5O
Here is the item on Amazon. A 16 oz one does about 6 to 7, depending on size. https://www.amazon.com/Mod-Podge-Waterbase-16-Ounce-CS11302/dp/B001IKES5O
You could just order it off Amazon, right? Pretty sure this is even cheaper than the price when I bought it in person https://www.amazon.com/Mod-Podge-Waterbase-16-Ounce-CS11302/dp/B001IKES5O
1.) Cut your paper pattern to just a little bit bigger than your surface. I got my paper from paper source
2.) Put down a thin layer of mod podge using a sponge brush. Make sure to cover the entire surface. I use matte, but you can use glossy or whatever you want
3.) put the paper down on the mod podge, being careful not to let air bubble develop
4.) push down the edges, but if they don't stick at this point it's not a big deal
5.) Let it dry for like 30-40 minutes
6.) When it's dry, use an exacto knife to trim the edge to your surface's dimensions. It's very important that the underlying glue already be dry because trying to cut it when it's still wet can tear the paper
7.) If the edges aren't totally glued down at this point, use a small sponge brush to touch them up and let them dry for 30-40 minutes
8.) Finally, with the paper glued down and cut to shape, use sponge brush to spread a thin layer of mod podge across the surface, making sure to spread it evenly. If you use a regular brush, your finish is going to get a much more textured feel to it, so that's why I prefer sponges. Let dry for 1 hour or more depending on how thick you applied the finish
this is Mod Podge basically watery glue that goes on and seals in whatever is underneath it. its used for scrapbooking and decoupage
edit...some of my dead lighters, so far!. just a little mod podge on printer paper cutouts.
Mod Podge should work.
https://www.amazon.com/Waterbase-Sealer-Finish-16-Ounce-CS11302/dp/B001IKES5O
And buy ~200+ of those. It'll run you about $20.
Go to Michael's (or similar store) and buy:
http://www.amazon.com/Podge-CS11302-Original-16-Ounce-Finish/dp/B001IKES5O (note the matte finish)
Also grab a cheap brush (you'll need it for the mod podge).
After you've printed and punched the tokens, paint a thinish layer of glue on a disc, apply the token, set aside and let it dry. Do... 50+ at a time. Do it while you watch your favorite TV show re-runs or something. Keep the tokens in vaguely first to last order. Once you've attached the last token to a disc, apply a thin layer of mod podge as a seal coat, starting with the first token you did. Apply a total of two sealing coats. Make sure they're thin and applied smoothly. Mod podge can add a texture if you brush it on that way.
Dirt cheap per token (somewhere in the neighborhood of $0.19/token) and they're nigh indestructible.
EDIT: The box is to store your tokens, by the way... I seemed to have forgotten to mention that.
