Alcohol Inks and Dominoes

[kareninbc]

Hi all,

I made a bunch of beautiful pins and magnets last night with dominoes and Ranger Alcohol Inks. I bordered the edges with metallic pens. Do I have to spray these to seal them? If so with what? Krylon? :confused:

Hi,
I used a Minwax product called Polycrylic protective finish. It's water based and a clear gloss that I believe makes them beautiful. I tried future floor polish but I didn't get the look I wanted with that. HTH.

I decorate dominoes with Stazon. (I pat it on with a Kleenex and blend the colors, then I stamp a design on top of the background.) I have found that they do need to be covered as the coloring gets worn off. I'll have to try the Minwax. It sounds like a great product.

Krylon should be just fine.

PegMn....I was at wal Mart and took a look. Do you use the spray Polycrylic or the kind you would brush on? Also, gloss, semi gloss or satin? I looked like a deer caught in headlights while in the hardware section. There were just too many decisions for me. What do you find works best?

I smooshed my dominoes into a versamark pad when I was done coloring them then used embossing powder & heat set them. It worked well. I mostly use iridescent ice which gives a nice sparkle to them.

a thin coat of crystal effects / diamond glaze works very well also!

Thanks to everyone...will try the Krylon on some and the other ideas as well...I do like the idea of smushing them with versamark then embossing...would give a nice effect.

Thanks again,

:-D
