Protecting the outside of the tin
Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2017 11:09 pm
I'm in Canada, and while Altoids' Peppermint red tins are readily available in certain stores like Shoppers Drug Mart, the other types are hard to obtain unless we order them online, such as Wintergreen (blue) and Cinnamon (dark red / scarlet). So I ordered the latter two, and have the red as a backup. However, I want to make sure the outer labels for these 'valuable' ones are well-protected when I play my Minty Pi.
Now, I was wondering, what would be my options? I do have Mod Podge acrylic clear glossy spray, though I don't know how well it will work on tin. I've only used it on plastic figurines. I probably only need to spray the top face and bottom face, and I'll wrap tape around the other parts so that the spray does not get near them and accidentally cause the parts and hinges to stick.
Anyways, I'm so excited about this project. I'm making a Minty Pi for my daughter. Day 1 is completed and I finished my first goal of making the outer holes.
