Has anybody else noticed how gracious and supportive all the viewers' comments were? So wonderful to see people being so supportive and appreciative to other supportive, appreciative people! So nice! :)

@kathyhennagir5201 3 года назад

Put the mod podge in the oven at 250 for about an hour after you apply your coats! I use it all the time!

@lowe-quay-shush 2 года назад

Good tip. But to be sure, you mean put the mod podge coated Terra Cotta pot/saucer in oven- Right? NOT heat up up the mod podge container's stuff then apply.

That Magic Edit though 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

@tamminihumphries9382 4 года назад

The plus side of the Rustoleum being brush on is that you could probably get away with skipping the painter's tape step since you'll have more control with the brush vs the sprays. Thank you for sharing this cool experiment with us. Learned something I didn't know, but I'm glad I do now!! Have you ever heard of Rustoleum's waterproofing system called "Never Wet"? It's pretty pricey at big box stores ($20-25), but I've actually seen it at Dollar Tree the past 2 years... around this time of year. It comes with 2 cans, step 1 and step 2. It'd be interesting to see how it works for that purpose. I may just try it out and let you know. I stocked up when I saw it at DT so I have plenty to work with!! LOL

@hollyhasegawa6095 4 года назад

Thanks for the info on this product at DT, I will look for it and give it a try as well.

@tmarie1596 4 года назад

Curiosity question as I live in Australia and have different cheap stores. If it's a two tin product is it a resin product? If so really interested in how it reacts to a prorous base like terracotta if you try it!

@hollyhasegawa6095 4 года назад

@@tmarie1596 I am not sure if this product is a resin, I have tried resin on wood but not on terra cotta, I am curious to see how it would react to the porous nature of terra cotta. Thanks for the idea I have some resin and will try it on one of my terra cotta saucers.

@tmarie1596 4 года назад

@@hollyhasegawa6095 good luck and if you do try it if you could pass on how it went. Personally I'm to cheap to buy terracotta saucers they are the same price as pot and I prefer to use plastic picnic plates. But I would be extremely interested in result.

@tnorton7783 4 года назад

Never wet was awful. We tried it for canvas for camping.

@tesshackett5590 4 года назад

I was desperate for a glazed saucer and couldn’t find one, so I used what I had on hand which was clear finger nail polish 💅 it did the trick, but very smelly so I did it outside and let it dry outside too. It has been holding up great for my house plant since last August.

@pinkfrangipani5131 4 года назад

@alliecormierr 4 года назад

I️ paint a lot of terra cotta pots and the ONLY thing I’ll use to seal them is rustoleum but the spray extra thick gloss!!! It’s AMAZING looks like a real glazed pot

@robertdarrell2116 4 года назад

I went with the Rustoleum and my saucers were looking awesome. Put them out under my roses and they developed that opaque film. Unsure if I didn't cure long enough, or the damp/rainy weather has just been too much. I'll try again and might also try the Rustoleum spray. Thanks for the video/idea.

@sueknee8813 4 года назад

Thank you ..such good info!

@HeavenintheGarden 4 года назад

Hey Laura, love your enthusiasm in research and development but I think there’s actually a solution that you might appreciate even more. I take pots and saucers to my local ceramic shop and they glaze them for me. If I’m not in a big hurry where they can fit them in with other projects in the kiln, they charge practically nothing. You can choose clear or colors. It’s fun to do the inside of the pot and saucer to match. They even did a big 16” terra-cotta pot with lions heads on it for me with a pure white inside. It’s now my favorite. Hope you have a ceramics shop in your town.

@Bamboo4U2 4 года назад

That's the answer. Have the saucers glazed professionally in a kiln or simply buy them glazed.

@mescott8212 Год назад

Thanks so much for this great tip! You guys are all so supportive and informative! :) !!!

@sfcline1767 Год назад

Would that only work for totally unglazed pots? I have some that are only glazed on the outside or only partially glazed and I want to seal the unglazed parts to help prevent mold.

@LB-vl3qn 4 года назад

Nice editing! The water magically pours itself. Laura, I could have told you the ModPodge would fail It's so full of water itself, it will probably peel up in one sheet when it eventually dries. For the ones with white patches, the previous coats were probably not completely dry before adding the subsequent coats. I knew this experiment was coming when you bemoaned not being able to find these. Necessity is the mother of invention; you rose to the invitation beautifully. Well done. ~ Lisa PS - Where's Russell, your supervisor? Probably sleeping on the job.

@starlakelsey2782 4 года назад

I wish you great luck in this experiment. I have tried sealing terracotta with not so good results. The Flex seal is something I haven't tried yet so I'll be doing that myself. I have mostly just decided to buy glazed pots with saucers for indoors. In my experience eventually sealer has lifted from pot and wept. The real coated sealed that you purchased was fired with a glaze and finish is baked on. It will never lift.

@Bamboo4U2 4 года назад

Good point. Laura can't (yet) tell us how long the seal lasts before it has to be reapplied, so the truth is, until she knows this, she really can't (100%) recommend any of them.

What's the VOC rating on that product?

@JujuBee77 4 года назад

We renovated our last home and I flex sealed EVERYTHING! lmbo! I did use the water guard on the side of my shed that would mold and I loved them both. However I do love the finish the rustoleum left for a gloss and the water guard for that "natural" look. Thank you!

@stevenjwiles 4 года назад

Aaron, I love that edit with the water. Laura, I'm totally doing this.

@AllTheArtsy 4 года назад

The Rustoleum needing to be painted on means you don't need the painter's tape, just get a manageable size of brush and you can pretty much keep control. Also, it probably pushes the product into every nook and cranny. I bet the issue with the spray-ons that turned white is it pooled in areas where you sprayed heavier, or the terracotta needed to be sanded, cleaned and completely dried off before spraying first (essentially, you need to prime the surface for spraying).

@mescott8212 Год назад

I should have included this in my previous comment: Make sure your terra cotta is well-dried before sealing per freddie rodriguez below my initial comment. Thanks, Freddie!

@theresaglass1831 4 года назад

@nataliet3797 2 года назад

I used to seal the saucers for my family's flower shop and my home plants, using a 2-part acrylic product. Worked very well, just insure the saucers are level when drying the sealer.

@brittywren2877 3 года назад

I like the more matte ones with the shiny ones. But the magic bit killed me. So funny

@MichelleKimballsouth 4 года назад

A lot of top coats require sanding between each coat. That is probably why you are getting the white spots. I’ve had the same happen on painted furniture when I didn’t sand between coats. I believe the Rustoleum comes in a spray, though not all big boxes carry it. That said, in spray form you might have the same problems with the white buildup.

@julee0613 4 года назад

Well that was fun...thanks for doing the work!

@rgirola1 4 года назад

Considering the VOC comments, what do you think about glazing the underneath portion of the saucer that touches surfaces? The “raw” terra cotta saucer part would not have any chemicals, but the underneath portion that sits on surfaces would be glazed therefore creating a water barrier.

@becauseiamawezome 4 года назад

The Rust-Oleum comes in a spray paint as well. It works great

@@tamminihumphries9382 yes, they have a "sweet spot". Before you push the plat spin it until it goes in the direction you want, because they dont spin like luggage wheels do.

@janreneashman1915 4 года назад

Great experiment Laura and great editing Aaron. Like some people have already said the white residue is caused by moisture trapped in the terracotta but the temperature plays a part too. If it's too cold it will do the same thing. (at least that has been my experience) As a safety tip, you should always wear a mask when you are spraying or brushing on anything that has chemicals in it.

@maynardgreenhouse 4 года назад

Great demo. Will be fun to see how they all hold up. Also wanted to mention I utilize a lot of old dinner and salad plates from my antique hoarding stash. 😉

@DianeMorissette 4 года назад

Great idea! You might want to try a special masking tape for curves to make the job easier or use the sealer that came out matte and not worry about masking it off.

@JayBagwell 4 года назад

The white spots that appear (called ‘blushing’) is common with any clear finish that is applied over a surface that is not 100% dry. Use a heat-gun, hairdryer, or bake in the oven a few minutes to get all the moisture out. You can sand that area and re-apply the finish to make it look uniform.

@jgwood10 4 года назад

Rustoleum is a good product. I use it in other projects also. I didn’t think Mod Podge would work because when using with brushes you can clean it up with water. Thanks for the comparisons.

Hi from New Zealand. The terracotta saucers I buy here from Italy are labelled 'water resistant' (not the same as waterproof). I generally only use them outside so I'll do a little experiment to see how much moisture comes through them.
