What clear sealer/adhesive would be durable enough to seal in glitter on a pair of shoes?

I'm making a pair of ruby slippers. The first pair I made I used a clear sealer that i think was recommended for sealing acrylic paint. I put down a layer of acrylic paint on the fabric, then sprayed with sealer and pressed glitter in. Then sprayed with sealer again and pressed in more glitter. Then finished with 2 layers of sealer on top. This first pair is adequate but i think the sealer i used doesn't hold too well. the glitter isn't falling off a whole lot but everywhere i go i find a few glitters on the floor but I do like that it dried hard. This second pair I'm making I put down acrylic paint, then some general purpose spray adhesive and pressed glitter into that then sprayed more adhesive and pressed glitter into it and finished with another layer of the adhesive. The adhesive is drying into a gum like stuff. How do I salvage these shoes? If it dries into a gum it will get indented or even get chunks of glitter ripped off. Can I cook the shoes in the oven or set near a heater to make the adhesive hard? I want something clear that i can use as the final layer that will dry hard, hold the glitter in, and be durable enough for the stress of being on a pair of shoes.





i did allow each layer to dry for 24hrs before adding the nextWhat clear sealer/adhesive would be durable enough to seal in glitter on a pair of shoes?
I would let time tell if those shoes will lose their stickiness and dry out or ';cure';. In the future use ';tacky glue'; it is really sticky white glue perfect for you project and then just one good coat of glitter.I wouldn't spray but if you must use clear gloss polyurethane spray. Don't do it in a cold place if you want it to dry well as these things don't dry or apply well under certain temps....put in sun to dry or in a warm WELL VENTILATED PLACE. Sounds like you have been applying glitter too thick with the wrong things for adhesive... too thick. good luckWhat clear sealer/adhesive would be durable enough to seal in glitter on a pair of shoes?
Yes as long as you did not walk in the rain.
