When it comes to crafting on various surfaces, it's essential to use the right methods to ensure durability. For fabric, heat setting is recommended, while for ceramic, baking is the best option. For plastic, metal, and glass, a clear topcoat sealer is necessary.
Here's a quick guide:
- Fabric: Iron the fabric on the reverse side without steam for a few minutes to fix the ink in the fibers.
- Ceramic: Bake the ceramic piece in an oven at around 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes to set the ink permanently.
- Metal: Seal with a clear acrylic spray sealer or a brush-on varnish designed for metal.
- Plastic: Use a clear acrylic spray or a polymer resin coating to seal the Sharpie ink.
- Glass: Seal with a dishwasher-safe waterproof acrylic spray or epoxy resin for stronger durability.
Additional tips include using a hair dryer to speed up ink drying before applying sealer, and using Mod Podge for a quick seal but opting for specialized acrylic or resin sealers for better durability.
