Why need use clear acrylic sealer

We recommend spraying a clear acrylic sealer or clear spray varnish over the printed Waterslide Decal paper to protect the design and make it water-resistant. Make sure the ink is completely dry before spraying, and apply 2–3 light coats, allowing each coat to dry before adding the next. This step is especially important when using an inkjet printer.

"What should I seal with that won’t look lumpy or bumpy?

"To keep your waterslide decal smooth and avoid any lumpy or bumpy texture, I recommend using a clear acrylic spray sealer (gloss or matte). Spray 3–4 light coats instead of one heavy coat—this helps everything dry flat and even. If you're sealing after applying the decal, a clear gloss spray or Mod Podge spray (not the brush-on version) works best. Avoid thick brush-on sealers, as they can leave texture."
