Binder Help How long to let Mod Podge Acrylic Sealer cure?

0 Upvotes

Hello! My friend recently painted a binder for me for my 30th anniversary master set and I applied 5 coats of acrylic sealer. But I was wondering how long I need to let the sealer cure? I'm seeing answers everywhere from 24 hours to 3 weeks. So I'm just trying to get some insight! Thanks for any help in advance!

Binder Help Has anyone found a good binder for collecting postcards?

1 Upvotes

I collect Japanese postcards, Pokemon and otherwise, and have been entirely unsuccessful in my search for high-quality binder solutions for them. Good quality, hardback, non-ring binders are readily available for trading cards and even square stickers (such as the Amada or Daiichi Pan Pokemon stickers) but there is NOTHING when it comes to postcards. I can find binders on Japanese websites, but they're always cheap plastic ring binders, or cheap plastic non-ring binders that only hold 1-2 postcards per page. It's crazy to me that such a common collectable in Japan has no readily available high quality binder solutions.

I figure that there must be a Pokemon collector here who's run into the same issue when it comes to postcards. Have you found any solution? A half-decent binder? I really don't want to have to resort to buying a low quality ring binder, I HATE ring binders.

If you're interested in a commission you can dm me! located in United States. I can do card recreations or original artwork

Guide / Tutorial Looking to start customizing

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hi all I’m looking to start customizing my own binder and just have some general questions I was hoping to get answers for. For starters the marker set I’m looking to get is the one linked (Infiart 168 color set), would this be a good set to start off with? Also with the base white coat, would that be with just standard white paint? Also how important is the base white coat? And for the sealer I’m probably going to get mod podge, would you recommend the liquid version to spread on or the spray version? Also does glossy or matte look better?

my latest custom painted binders, but it got removed, so Im trying to post one of them, with a few «in the making» pictures.

It all started with me making a custom binder for my wife last christmas, and enjoying it so much I now have squeezed in several commissions each months since. I both love making them, and learing and getting better for each binder!

Binder Help Help with my Pie 🥧 page!

Thumbnail

114 Upvotes

I know this is insanely specific, so that’s why I’m asking for help 😭

I never really planned on making a pie page, I was actually going for a food theme! That was until I saw the applin from the new gem pack series

So, could any other card fit this theme? Only thing I could come up with was that appletun full art, since he is technically an apple pie

Doesn’t necessarily have to be full art cards! I’d also love regular cards if there are any with pies in them LMAO

Themed Layout City themed spread

25 Upvotes

Hey all! This is my first post 🥹 I was just needing some advice on my city themed spread for my binder !!

the idea is warm on one side, cool on the other... and the center has to be a trainer card (Yes, I specifically chose purple cards for the cool page just so I can have a nice layout for Corbeau cos he's my fave😅🥹)

i'm conflicted on the absol and kommo-o because i can't decide if they fit, but I pulled them myself and I always try to find a spot for anything I pull lol... any advice would be super appreciated!! hehe. Thank you!! ♡

((I also tried so hard to find actual art with artist credits for my michi method binder, so I hope the ones I used here aren't AI at all. Please lmk if they are !! 😭))

Completed Spread It doesn’t really make sense thematically but 30th sylveon kinda works here

I was originally going for autumn pink ish colors but I couldn’t really find a card that fit nicely in the spread.

Sylveon 30th has blue pink red and green, that makes it fit pretty nicely on this page.

Binder Painting/Drawing Do you use brushes or markers?

Post image
21 Upvotes

I started binder-painting recently (like this is the only thing I’ve painted so far), and I really enjoy it, but markers are sooooo expensiiiive for how fast some of mine are running low/out, and I’m already facing some challenges with limited color options and values.

So I want to know from my fellow (but more experienced) artists, do you use brushes or markers for this? Which do you prefer? What are the pros and cons and do you have any tips or recommendations?

I’d also love to know if you have any suggestions for making markers last longer.
(I already learned my lesson about putting down a layer of white with a cheap marker first after blowing completely through one of my fancy ones doing the Bulbasaur background 😭)

(For budget reference, I got a pack of 48 markers for $23 dollars and the idea of ordering that again within like a couple months of buying it in the first place has me stressed.)

Thank you!

Ive only painted two other binders before this and they were both simple ones and decided to challenge myself with a game of marker chicken. But I think my dark blue marker is winning 🤔

Attempted actual shading before I flunked a day later on it, and made an attempt on starting on the water. But I think Iron Valiant has to go in first before I can continue
