Sealing your cushion covers is important, especially if they’re going to be outdoors and exposed to the elements, but how do you even go about sealing fabric? The good news is that if you choose to use acrylic paint to seal your workpiece, all that you need to do is apply heat to the surface. You can do so by using a heat gun. Simply apply heat by running the gun over the surface of your cushions at a medium distance until you feel the paint has solidified and set into the surface of your cushion.
