Sealant Products"A sealant is a viscous material that changes state to become solid, once applied, and is used to prevent the penetration of air, gas, noise, dust, fire, smoke or liquid from one location through a barrier into another. ~Wikipedia"
Your choice of coating will be determined by what you want to seal. Most craft and even hardware stores have cans of aerosol sealer that could be suitable for your paper craft projects. It is a good idea to carefully read the labels of products offered in hardware stores to make sure they are suitable for your projects. Craft stores will also have a range of them and you can often obtain good advice from staff about how to use them and what mediums they will work best on. Here's a money saving tip from me: When I use chalks on my hand made cards, sometimes I spray them lightly with hair spray! I take them outside to do this and lay them on the (dry) lawn or if you have an old piece of fly screen you could lay them on that, then spray them from a distance of at least 30cm (12") so you don't get thick and thin layers of hairspray on your project. Aim for a nice, light, even coating and allow it to dry thoroughly before touching it. I'm working on finding you a good place to buy adhesives and sealants online, and when I do I will place that information in Paper Twists Return from Sealant Products to Ask Susan | Return to PaperCraftCentral Home Page
