HELP! MY TILE SEALER DID NOT WORK!

[cyndarella62]

Can someone tell me what sealer to use? The one I used did not work...I waited 3 days to use it at least and after just a few uses, the paint popped right off the tile! I am soo upset! HELP GUYS!
Thanks!

I have never used paint. I stamp with stazon and color with chalks or watercolor pencils. Then I use Matte acrylic sealer. What kind of paint did you use?

[cyndarella62]

I used the wrong word, I did not use paint, I used the Staz on ink pad...just the black staz on ink pad. weird huh?

I use clear spray paint as a sealer. I know it sounds crazy�. But it worked! You can get it in glossy or matte! ;)

did you bake your tiles? We baked ours for about 15min on 325-350 and didn't have to use a sealer with the stazon. I made these for my family for Christmas gifts last year and no one has had a problem. I hope this helps! allison

Yup, water resistant... don't bake with the spray paint! If your going to bake you don't have to use a sealer.


I can understand how you can be so upset with them not turning out ..... especially all the time to put into making them.

What kind of tiles are you using?

Here's a great thread with some instuctions about baking and sealing:

I'm using the rough ones...I used the In the Wild set on a brown tile...they are really pretty. Oh well, I can always use the experience right? LOL!

Thanks everyone for your help! I'll be baking now....my husband will think i've lost it for sure! LOL!
