Hookfin Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Is there anything other than Elmers to seal a POP mold? I don't get a gloss finish all the time with Elmers. I heard someone using thinned out Devcon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard someone using thinned out Devcon? Two part epoxy thinned with alcohol(not wiskey lol) to a watery solution. You need to brush it on in several layers allowing drying time in between. The first couple of layers will soak right into the POP which is good as it will form a nice foundation for the cavity. That being said; the more layers you apply the less detail you will have such as scales, etc. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-billy Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Try Elmers wood glue. It works MUCH better than Elmers white glue. Mix it with water 50/50 or a little thinner and flood the cavity.Let it soak for 15-20 minutes then drain and blow out the exess. Then bake at 150 for an hour or so until cured. I get a perfect glossy finish every time with one coat. I seal my entire molds this way. Helps prevent chipping.--Best regards,Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I use Mod Podge from Micheal's. One coat usually does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
