I even glued them to the tray beforehand, but obviously I didn't glue them well, because there are about 10 caps that will just not stay put. I've spent close to an hour using chopsticks to try and push them down, but I only have two hands, and as I'm holding one down another one will rise to the surface. Any suggestions??Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263531922262778737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201476158505077804.post-7384046807273296942015-04-16T22:47:40.579-05:002015-04-16T22:47:40.579-05:00Other people have reported success with Mod Podge ...Other people have reported success with Mod Podge and alternative acrylics.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703912676685127907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201476158505077804.post-4276269671502217782015-04-08T07:17:42.948-05:002015-04-08T07:17:42.948-05:00Is there anything else you could use instead of ac...Is there anything else you could use instead of acrylic water?

After experiencing the same stickiness issues other commenters and you described, I decided to give my Mod Podge clear acrylic a try, in lieu of the polyurethane sealer (a bit too expensive and I already have Mod Podge). I tried a tiny test spot before attempting the entire tray and it WORKS!! It made the acrylic water hard and not sticky at all after only 20 minutes of drying. Thanks for this great craft and suggested solution, I love it!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529429848716594126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201476158505077804.post-91933470013312673092013-08-07T11:59:53.150-05:002013-08-07T11:59:53.150-05:00Hi there Michele!

I am experiencing the same stickiness issue and am wondering if a spray coat of Mod Podge clear acrylic would do the trick? I noticed that online prices of polyurethane sealer look pretty expensive..

Did you let the paint cure overnight? Even when paint feels dry to the touch, it still needs to "cure".<br />I did not have problems with my acrylic water, I'm thinking that the brands are making a difference (others have had that problem). I am assuming that it's tacky to the touch? If so, I suggest spraying several thin coats of a clear acrylic sealer, found with the spray paints. That should stop the tackiness.<br />I hope this helps!Michelle @ Sweet Something Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238174034736406372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201476158505077804.post-16392141763665692142012-12-14T07:47:15.222-06:002012-12-14T07:47:15.222-06:00Help!!

And when I poured it over the spray painted bottle caps the paint on some of them ran. I would really love to do this as a gift but I'm having some serious issues.
