Why do you need to seal? I have some hung on my wall for almost 4 years and no drills have fallen off.

@gbmaltese

4 жыл бұрын

You don't. The main things that I will seal are notebooks, key chains and other items that are going to be handled to help keep the drills from falling off. I've had DPs on my walls for about 3 years, they are under glass, and they are in perfect condition. Also, some people like to seal, because it keeps dirt from sticking to the glue that is exposed between the drills, if it is not framed. I always tell people to do things the way that they want to, this hobby is for fun. 😊

Awesome. You can also buy the opaque covers with the sticky on it in rolls. Stitcherista has videos on that. It would be perfect for this. Thank you for the ideas Grace. Really cool. Very good idea.
