Hey /po/. I just made Jack Sparrow's ring and I want to wear it around, but I'm afraid of its fragility and its weakness to water. What's a good clear and waterproof sealant I could use?

spray on water selent, model selent. there is a thing for warhammer miniatures thats a gloss varnish or something like that. it comes in the small paint pots, its good for sealing and will make it harder

Dip it in white glue (Well not dip, but if its all you have a few layers of it works fine.)

No matter what you do, at the end of the day it's still going to be paper, and fragile in some way.

If you're looking to make something actually wearably sturdy out of papercraft, I'd suggest looking into plasticard as a potential medium. It'd be more difficult, but that's a necessary evil with what you're suggesting.

Or, you could do something dastardly like laminating your sheets before you assemble everything. Probably be best to individually laminate each piece after it's been cut out, but you'll need to be REALLY exact and horrendously close to the edge to make it work. But there's no reason it couldn't be done.

In addition, you'll need some different glues for plastic works. The laminated route is going to be too thin to recommend any sort of plastic glue, so I'd suggest your standard cyanoacrylate superglue. Probably of the brush-on variety, so you don't get any excess that would cause it to take longer to bond or create build-up that would fuck with the evenness.

If you go the plasticard route, use a plastic modeling glue. These are actually a variety of solvent that'll melt the plastic together, so as to make it one piece. Use it outside, or by an open window, though, as those fumes are going to mess with you.
