‘Waterproof’ coating for paper?
I apologize if I worded the question wrong.
I’m pasting some cardstock/scrapbook paper to a candle tin as decoration. I am not making candles, but just using the tin for holding random items.
Is there a clear substance or something to coat the paper on the tin with though so that it might resist water? Like a varnish? Preferably something that I can find in an arts and crafts store like Michael’s?
-I doubt lamination would work.
-I’m considering Marine Varnish, but it seems rather heavy duty comparing to what I’m doing.
-I have considered waterproof paper but in the end, I wanted to use the cardstock/scrapbook paper.
-I appreciate the wax ideas, but I’m looking towards something less messier & oilier.
-I can’t delete a detail…but maybe Marine Varnish would be the best choice…would it be fine for something like what I’m working with though?
Only Marine Varnish will protect against water. Try walmart in the paint section
