What is the best finish for wooden drink coasters?

I would first consider a seal coat of shellac since some of those woods are oily. Then you could brush on a coat or two of water based poly. Another option would be rattle can spray lacquer (Deft is my fave) but this might not be as alcohol resistant.

Can I heat press onto wood?

You can actually heat press directly onto wood - including wood slices. The great thing about putting heat transfer vinyl on wood slices is you can use your heat press! The trick is to make sure the wood slices are pretty thin and your heat press pressure knob is pretty loose. Start by grabbing a pack of wood rounds.

Should I seal my vinyl on wood?

Your permanent vinyl should well adhere to wood that's treated with a base coat so long as your project is kept inside. If you want to try a topcoat, I would let the vinyl adhesive cure for 24-48 hours before adding a topcoat so the adhesives don't mix and cause the vinyl to peel.

How do you permanently stick vinyl to glass?

Use transfer paper to remove your vinyl from the backing and put it on your glass. You can tape a piece of graph paper or grid to the inside of your glass to help with alignment. You will also want to be sure to burnish well after application to ensure good adhesion.

What is the best vinyl to use on glass?

You want to cut on permanent adhesive outdoor vinyl like Oracle 651. This vinyl can withstand washing (by hand). It has a stronger adhesive on the back to give it a better stick which is ideal for smaller designs. I'd recommend either a pack of Oracal 651 vinyl from Amazon or Swing Design - but check the prices!

How do you waterproof homemade coasters?

You're going to want to coat the image and coaster with at least three coats of Mod Podge, allowing it to dry for 15 minutes (or until clear) between coats. Once the final coat has dried, spray all of the coasters with a clear acrylic gloss spray, which ensures that they're waterproof/drink proof.
