To seal water slide decals on glass, you will need a few supplies. You will need clear contact paper, scissors, a craft knife, and a cutting mat. First, cut out the decal you want to use.
Next, place the decal on the contact paper. Make sure that the sticky side of the contact paper is facing up. Then, use the craft knife to carefully cut around the decal.
Finally, remove the excess contact paper from around the decal and smooth it onto your glass surface.

How to Seal Water Slide Decals on Plastic
Water slide decals are a great way to add some personalization to your plastic objects. Whether you want to add a fun design to a child’s toy or make a unique gift for someone, water slide decals are an easy way to do it. But what if you want to make sure the decal stays put?
Sealing them with clear nail polish is a simple way to do just that.

Once the polish is dry, apply another layer of clear nail polish and let it dry completely. Your water slide decal should now be sealed and protected from wear and tear!

How Do You Seal a Water Slide Decal?
When you are ready to seal your water slide decal, you will need to use a clear acrylic sealer. You can find this at most craft stores. I would recommend using a spray sealer so that it evenly coats the decal.
Make sure that you do this in a well-ventilated area, as the fumes from the spray can be overwhelming. Also, make sure that the surface you are spraying is protected from overspray. I like to use a cardboard box turned upside down for this purpose.
Once you have sprayed your decal with the acrylic sealer, allow it to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
How Do You Seal Water-Slide Decals After Applying?
Water-slide decals are one of the most popular and versatile types of decals. They can be used on a variety of surfaces, including paper, plastic, metal, glass, and more. They are also relatively easy to apply and remove.
However, one downside to water-slide decals is that they are not waterproof. This means that if you want to seal them after applying them, you will need to use a clear sealant.
There are a few different options when it comes to clear sealants for water-slide decals.
You can purchase a spray-on sealant from most craft stores. These work well and are quick and easy to use. Simply spray the sealant over the entire decal once it has been applied and allow it to dry completely before handling.
Another option is to brush on a layer of clear nail polish or epoxy resin. These require a bit more time and effort, but will create a stronger seals than spray-on sealants.
Once your water-slide decal has been sealed, it will be resistant to smudging, scratching, and fading.
What Do You Use to Seal Waterslides?
One of the most important things to consider when setting up a waterslide is how you will seal the slide. There are a few different options available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
One option is to use a tarp.
Tarps are relatively inexpensive and easy to find. They can be used to cover the entire slide or just the portion that goes into the water. The downside of using a tarp is that they can be slippery, which can make it difficult for riders to stay on the slide.
Another option is to use pool noodles. Pool noodles can be placed along the sides of the slide to create a barrier between riders and the ground. They are also relatively inexpensive and easy to find.
However, like tarps, they can also be slippery, which can make it difficult for riders to stay on the slide. Finally, you could use inflatable tubes. Inflatable tubes are more expensive than tarps or pool noodles, but they offer a number of advantages.
They are much more durable than either tarps or pool noodles, so they will last longer. They also provide a very firm barrier between riders and the ground, which helps prevent accidental falls off of the slide.
Do You Need to Clear Coat Waterslide Decals?
Most people don’t clear coat their waterslide decals because it’s not necessary. The decal will adhere to the surface without a topcoat. However, if you want extra protection for your decal, you can apply a clear coat.
This will also give the decal a nice sheen.
Conclusion
Water slide decals are a great way to add decoration to glass surfaces. However, if they are not properly sealed, they can be difficult to remove and may cause damage to the surface. To seal water slide decals on glass, first clean the surface with alcohol or Windex.
Next, apply a thin layer of mod podge or clear nail polish over the decal. Allow it to dry for 24 hours before adding another layer. Finally, apply a layer of clear acrylic sealer over the entire design.
