would you be able to coat your artwork so they wouldn't run when a wet drink was set on them ?

Yes, I mod podged my images onto them. You could also spray with acrylic sealer. Either of those would affect the absorbency though. Would keep the wet off your furniture,but you might have moisture on the coaster. Mi used for non coaster art projects.

Experimented this morning. I sprayed one with a spray acrylic. Just tested it and with just one coat the water does not seep though. I'd use more than one coat. The can I have says its for art work etc. on many surface types. I did drop water on an untreated coaster which immediately soaked it up. You might want to spray the backs also. These sprays dry quickly so you can do a couple of coats on front and back in no time.

I do multi media, though mostly Koh-I-Noor and Sakura colored pen and ink art work on my coasters. I tried modpodge (use it a lot)-wasn't satisfied for water proofing. I'm working with Krylon Triple Thick Crystal Clear Glaze. LOVE IT!!!!! I have used it on these, on photos for coasters, art on wood, art on rocks, glass, pen work on thin paper sprayed with this looks like stained glass! Dries fast and CLEAR.Try it-They have many products-so look for that exact glaze, hope that helps. C.H.

Yes, you can, but I'd recommend using a spray fixative, like Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating Aerosol Spray, using a few coats and letting your artwork dry in between coats. It won't yellow or change the color. Brushing on a fixative can sometimes smear your work. Good luck!

It seems to me that using these coasters would be best for hot drinks to protect the surface they are placed on.

I have no doubt you could either spray it with polyurethane or coat it with mod podge or another waterproof medium. Good luck. I have not tried this but I might in the future.

I have been spraying with fixative. When dry I coat with acrylic medium. i think that should do the trick. I may just test it and get back to you.

That would defeat the purpose of the item. It cools by evaporation. So, no.

My artwork is on canvas, so I'm not sure. I imagine there will be some reflection off of the glass.

Yes, but don't let it get wet. Also, it leaves a gritty coating that you can see and feel. I painted the edges of a side table that had glass "rocks" and had to scrub it off the glass as it looked and felt icky. I also painted a thin line around a light switch cover and you can feel the grittiness. Doesn't really work for outdoor items, as by the time the sun sets, the glow is feeble. Works great indoors, though!

I don't see why they couldn't. The bottles are small so depending on the size of the hands you may be only to get a couple of prints out of each bottle but that is a really cute idea! I would just get a paper plate and squeeze out all the paint.

Probably, but the paint would burn off quickly. You would need a high heat ceramic paint or a charcoal based paste.

No. If the paint was "poured into each section" it would dry out... The container lid is not air tight. If the different paint colors were placed individually into small air tight containers that fit into each section, it would work fine. But the lid does not seal air tight onto the container with sections. It hold beads or buttons, etc., well.

I wouldn't do that, as I think the water would eventually make the paint peel off. I use the rustoleum on our bar b que and it only does a fair job.

Yes, there's nothing inherent about the plastic that would not allow it to be painted. I just can't speak to the prep that would be required so that the paint would stick the best.

I didn't try but the product dries completely so I don't know why you couldn't. Though I think it would take several coats to cover the dark grey.
1592402
You could but you may need to put something heavy inside the base (makes a triangle when you stand it up) so that it does not topple over if someone pushes on it. It should work but not sure about dripping paint, etc. since there is no tray to catch anything

Were you trying to paint the vinyl or the glasses. The vinyl is water proof so it should work for what you're trying to do

I would think you could because the plastic has an uneven finish to it. Perhaps an acrylic paint and then follow with a clear topcoat that is resistant to the weather.

You could deliver stain on your floor. The difficultly is darkness of the tone and the mist may be deliver unwanted surface. The system could not haldle cement based liquid, such as drydeck. I have ruined one before.

I have found that when using this ink on paper for stamping it is waterproof. Meaning that once it is dry, if you add other paints on top of it, it doesn't mix with the new paint.

Apparently L. M. Brown was able to do this, but in general I agree with the others who responded that it would be difficult to get the paper wet enough to activate the paste without damaging the new paint and printing. You also have to do a certain amount of hand-adjustments after the paper's on the wall, which could also damage the painted surface. I mean, it's possible, of course, but wouldn't it be easier to paint it and block print it afterward? By the way, when you get it on the wall wet it will probably look as if it's not going to flatten out, but a day later it had.

As I use lots of water to clean the machine with I'm siding with the other people that have answered the question to stay away from non water based paint. If you're thinking of thin lacquers or varnishes a regular spray gun would be better suited for that work.
