I, thinking it would improve the humidity in my humidor used RTV sealant in the joints of the box, I wasn't necessarily neat about it either. This was some time ago, the interior is spanish cedar which is generally used for the interiors but the sealant is still sticky in nature and the cigar wrapper's were and still would stick to it. I realize I am an idiot for doing this now, is there a way to save this box, I've been using it for jewelery since I did this but want to revive it for cigars again if possible?Clear RTV silicone based sealant and spanish cedar.?
Get a new humi.

Is there a sealant for glass that will leave glass clear?
Are you sealing glass edges, ie, glass to glass? If so, silicone.
Clear, drink-safe sealant for acrylic?
I'm going to be building a model of a cup I designed out of stacked, lasercut acrylic pieces (I'm taking a SolidWorks model, slicing it horizontally, and building the cup from those slices). Ideally, this cup will be actually useable, which would require that the acrylic be somehow sealed in a way that is both watertight and non-toxic.
I have had experience with using acrylic solvent to create strong bonds between pieces, and I think that I could make it watertight if I'm careful- but are there any toxic chemicals still present after the stuff dries?
The other way I've thought of is to use aquarium-grade silicon, since that is reasonably clear and is both watertight and nontoxic- but it's also very thick, and a thinner formula would be far better suited for my purposes.
Has anyone used one of these methods before? Does anyone know of any sealants that fit my needs?
Thanks for any help you can give.Clear, drink-safe sealant for acrylic?
Call the mfg of the adhesive you want to use.

I'm looking for a clear brush on sealant?
For use on paper beads. Something along the lines of clear nail polish only cheaper, more cost friendly. I've been researching it online for hours on end and cannot seem to word it correctly to find what I need.I'm looking for a clear brush on sealant?
There are various things you could use to both seal porous surfaces like paper/etc, and leave a clear gloss finish.
The cheapest would probably be a permanent white glue (like Elmer's GlueAll) thinned down about 3 or 4 to 1 with water. Dry thoroughly between coats if you use more than one.
Probably also as cheap would be a water-based gloss polyurethane from the hardware store (';indoor';). We use the brand called Varathane all the time for polymer clay because it's cheaper than gloss finishes sold for clay and works as well or better, and it's great on porous surfaces too. Other brands of polyurethane should be fine as well.
(The ';acrylic mediums'; you'd buy at a craft or art supply store will also work, but they'll be more expensive by volume, and they'll also be more scratchable than polyurethanes --though about the same scratchability as diluted white glue, which is also sometimes susceptible to clouding from later humidity.)
There's lots more info on various kinds of clear sealants on this page at my site if you're interested:

You could use acrylic polymer gloss coat. It will be in the section where acrylic paint is sold. It comes in different sizes. Look in your local paper for discount coupons for Michael's, Jo-Ann's, or other craft store.

Is there a glue/sealant I can use to secure bits of clear PVC to a 100% Cotton t-shirt?
It's for a project of mine. What glue would be fine and would withstand constant washing? ThanksIs there a glue/sealant I can use to secure bits of clear PVC to a 100% Cotton t-shirt?
you can buy frabric glueIs there a glue/sealant I can use to secure bits of clear PVC to a 100% Cotton t-shirt?
I use 100 %Silicone Sealant. I have some white and clear. You can use it indoor/outdoor, interior/exterior, Cured Sealant is mold and mildew resistant. Won't shrink or crack. Permanently flexible. Water tight. I'm not sure but it may come in colors.
You can get it at Lowe's or Home Depot, Walmart,etc. It's not expensive.
It doesn't say cloth on the container, but a lot of the stuff on t-shirts is hard, it may work. It wouldn't hurt to try it on an old piece of material which is similar to the kind you're going to use. A lot of people already have some in their homes.
Just a thought.
clear silicone.
Try WundaWeb. This is an 'iron - on' adhesive tape that comes in a variety of widths. It withstands frequent washing @ 40' but do not boil wash.
Gorilla glue.
Super glue.
If you're prepared to wash by hand then I think that copydex would work. its a latex glue so once dry its waterproof. But be careful in application as it can yellow if you put too much on.

Question about using clear nail polish as a sealant?
I want to glue magazines clippings to a picture frame to decorate it, and i was wondering if i could just put a coat of clear nail polish on top to seal everything on and give it a shiny finish.Question about using clear nail polish as a sealant?
There is another solution other than nail polish. Nail polish is strong enough to ruin the ink on the paper, causing it to run or smudge.
Instead, use a product available at almost any craft store: decoupage.
Decoupage comes in a matt and a shiny finish. Decoupage is a glue and a sealant. It will be absolutely perfect for the project you are planning. Just brush the decoupage on the back of the magazine clipping, press onto the surface you want to attach it to and then coat the paper with the decoupage to seal the paper. This process can also be done with fabric. The jar of decoupage should provide you with other ideas in which the product can be used.Question about using clear nail polish as a sealant?
Yes, you can, glue polish belongs to a class of hydrocarbons, OK quality, lah..., but wont it be more economical if you can obtain clear varnish, from any recognised hardware dealer, it is the same principle, and if you want coloration, you can get timber varnish, or from some artwork dealers, are also available clear varnish coatings, and the finish may be matt (Rough) or smooth or even shiny (glossy) finish......
Poor idea. Nail polish is almost impossible to apply smoothly on a large surface, and it will be expensive. Take the 3rd poster's suggestion of a clear water-based coating made for decoupage.
I don't see why not... it's just laquer after all.
