but my question is how do you seal your shells?? I want the stuff that you would paint Onto your shell to seal it.

an acrylic sealer or resin coating is best for shells
you can get a 2 part resin pour on from hobby lobby... brand is called pour on... It was recommended to me by Iona.

I haven't sealed my shells in anything and they stand up alright in water. A couple of coats of varnish or resin though brings the colour back up. Starfish either coat them in heaps of resin or make castings of them as they're like sponges
