Jar Canister
What protective clear coat is safest for decoupage that comes in contact with food?
I am making dog cookie jars out of some old canisters to be sold at our fundraiser dinner for our animal shelter. We photographed the dogs and puppies with different back-drops and I’m using some of their photos on the jars (they’re really cute). I craft quite a bit with things around the house, and usually I use an acrylic spray varnish, and then coat in verethane. These items are purely decorative however. I was thinking of making coordinating mugs/saucers but I would like for people to be able to use them, and for them to be washable. I know my items are washable with a damp rag, is there anything I could use that would allow them to be submerged in water (like a sink) or dishwasher? And if so, what is the most durable clear-coat (epoxy, varnish, etc) that can come in contact with food or beverage? Thank you, any help greatly appreciated!
I do not know of any food safe sealers, but they do make water slide decal paper that you can use on mugs & such. I do not know how well it would hold up on saucers/plates though if they are used with utensils though.
If you use clear glass cups and saucers you could actually put your image on the bottom of the saucer and it would show through. and a matching image on the cups. That way you could seal it and it still would not come into contact with the food.
The last option is going to your home improvement store and seeing if they have any food safe concrete sealer there (like they would use on concrete counter tops). Those products may work for you.
