      all you had to do was print on special, transfer paper, not on ordinary paper, and you could save yourself from crumbling

    Thanks for referring this vIdeo to me, it was before I subscribed to your channel and it answers my original question. I know what Polyacrylic sealer is but when you added “graphic sealer” to it I thought it was another product with a different purpose.

    I would love to see a video by you showing how you create large signs with these methods. Do you use a certain program to split up words/letters to be able to make them larger than 8.5 x 11? How do you match them up? Thanks in advance!

  • @sierrahill1508
    @sierrahill1508 3 года назад

    Regarding the chalk paint base - is there a formula that would dry translucent so that you can see the wood grain in the negative space of the print?

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  3 года назад

      You could make a wood stain . That might leave some of the wood grain showing. ruclips.net/video/pW_PlsSLJW8/видео.html

    Hi Deidre. Will this Mod Podge method work if I am placing the lettering on a board that is a different color? Lets say a red or blue back ground?

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  2 года назад +1

      Yes it will. It can be a bit more tricky but can be done. The mod pdoge may show more around edges but you can paint around the letters with background colour to blend if needed.

      I don't think it would go on thick enough. You would need to paint it on so paper will stick well to it. ruclips.net/video/0ji2k8ai43I/видео.html

    I followed another tutorial by another person and they instructed to use a lot more modge podge (to the point you almost can't even see the print under it) - will this be an issue? You used a lot less.

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  3 года назад +1

      I find you don't need much at all! I have made hundreds of signs and the more I use the more you can see mod podge around the edges. It also wrinkles and bubbles more. Try both ways and see what works best for you! Thanks for watching Sierra
