I did take a couple of pictures, but my son and/or husband seem to have moved my USB cable somewhere that I can’t see it, so I’m unable to download the pictures right now. I will get them downloaded as soon as I find the cable.

To seal a vase after applying a rub on I painted a thin line of mod podge over it and just around it. I did 2 layers, making sure the first layer was dry before adding more.

The only downside to using mod podge is that you can see the brush strokes should the light strike it just right. My vase is red and slightly see-through. I think if you did this on a white opaque surface the brush strokes wouldn’t show up as easily.

Now, I ran this under hot water and gently rubbed it, and it didn’t come off, although it takes some time for the mod podge to dry completely after- it tends to get rather tacky. I wouldn’t advise drying with a hand towel while it’s tacky- just let it air dry. I didn’t scrub it or add soap either. I thought in most cases something decorative like a vase, or even a coffee mug, would just get really dirty on the inside, but the outside shouldn’t require more than a rinse.

My massage oil bottle that I used mod podge to seal was run through the dishwasher and it came out just fine- a little on the soft and tacky side while still wet and hot, but once it cooled and air-dryed it was fine.

Enjoy!
