Water Sealant

[Bryan Murphy]

I printed a couple fruit fly traps.  Unfortunately they are not quite water-tight.  Any recommendations on what I can use to coat the inside and seal this up properly?

Thanks!

I've had success with coats of UV curable resin and/or epoxy. Just make sure you do thin coats because they generate heat when curing and thick coats can heat up enough to warp PLA.

I've used a clear spray paint to seal things like that. It seems to work well.

I knew you would have something out of the box!  Alas I already have some clear spray paint so I'm going to give that a shot as it's the easiest and quickest to try. :D
