Answer 1

vasaline works really well. paint a thin coat with a thick brush in 1 sweep, like you put on nail varnish

Answer 2

A freind of mine tried pva and water and the leaves she used went mouldy in the winter. There are spray glues you can get for this kind of project, they're a bit expensive but easier to use.

Answer 3

I support your cause, and I would like to see you expressing verses that will be disciplined, with metre and rhyme. You surprise me with thirst - burst (of deep red thick liquid) "dampen the flames of the season consumption tames within reason" why don't you do it more often? Please honor me with your commenting, I am not hunting for any customer, and apply that discipline to comprehend my lines...? The poem is Very Good, and the style only elegant.

Answer 4

Hairspray also work as a sealant. I've never tried Vaseline, but it sounds right. maybe spray them afterward, to lock in the greasy coating.
