Acrylic Spray Paint Craft Sealer
Seal your wall mural with the acrylic paint sealer (sometimes called craft or hobby sealer). Be sure to use a sealer that does not cause yellowing. Sealer comes in matte, satin, semi-gloss and gloss finish. The choice is yours. If you do not know which to use, a satin finish is generally a safe choice for murals. You will find this product in the spray paint isle of your craft store or hardware store. Follow the directions carefully on the can. Many of these sealers are toxic so please follow the directions on the label of the can. Keep in mind you do not need to buy an expensive brand.
