Hi all
I'm wanting the best heat resistant varnish/sealer for coasters, which will not be left tacky
Hello @Kutabay
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's splendid to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about what varnish to use for coasters.
Before I make any recommendations, can you please tell me what is on top of the coasters? Is it paint printed onto paper and glued onto timber or is it paint directly printed onto timber? What kind of paint did you use on the surface? Once you tell us how the coasters were painted, we'll be able to make recommendations on what varnish or sealer to use.

It has mod podge napkins on wood
Hello @Kutabay
Thanks for that bit of information. It's likely that the Mod Podge has penetrated the napkin and formed a seal around it. According to various craft sites, its necessary to let the Mod Podge cure for at least four weeks before sealing it with an acrylic sealer. The only acrylic sealer I'm aware of at the store is the White Knight 310g Crystal Clear Acrylic Clear Gloss. I don't recommend using any other varnish sealers as they are not compatible with Mod Podge.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
