How do you seal vinyl on ceramic coasters?

I use Mod Podge to seal these Cricut ceramic cpasters. I also like to use Krylon Clear Glaze to seal my vinyl because it gives a completely smooth finish. However, it does give off a bit more of a glossier look.

How do you make tile coasters waterproof?

The ModPodge overlay is what makes these coasters waterproof. You will not have to worry about the vinyl peeling up due to condensation from drinkware, because the PodPodge creates a seal over the vinyl.

Can you polyurethane over Cricut vinyl?

Technically, that answer is yes. However, I prefer not to use polyurethane because of a few reasons. It is messier to work with than the alternatives I have listed. You will need to discard your brush because it is really sticky. Because it is really sticky, you will feel that stickiness on the finished tile too. I suggest using ModPodge or the Krylon Clear Glaze.
