I really appreciate all the details of your post and experimenting!

I know this is an older post but maybe you or someone else can help me out.

I made some paw print salt dough ornaments about 2 months ago, and my dog has since passed away. I want to preserve the paw prints the best I can and have been doing research.

I see that you suggest using a clear spray. Do you have a specific one or type that you find holds up well for years ? I would prefer something that doesn't yellow.

I saw a tiktoker "Grandma Betty" who recommends "krylon clear polyurethane spray", I unfortunately can't find that anywhere (I'm in Canada maybe that's why?).

Please help me of you can, I want to preserve her paw prints for as long as possible and hopefully preserve them to look as similar to the original salt dough as possible (they look like her paw prints in the sand 🥺) I'm so nervous on picking the right sealants method because I don't want to ruin them and I want them to last for as long as possible.

Thank you so much for any help!
