sealing hotfix rhinestones

i need advice on sealing some hotfix rhinestones. i am bedazzled an eye glass case (unfinished) and most of the gems are on there pretty good but i don’t think it’ll survive inside my bag. i did not use glue, they are stuck on just by using a hot fix tool
the case is made out of a plastic-y almost faux leather material so i’m worried they didn’t adhere well enough. ideally i’d like to seal it with some sort of clear top coat. i’ve heard that doing a layer over rhinestones will dull the sparkle but i don’t know how much.
any advice is appreciated as this is my first time using hotfix rhinestones and im totally out of my element!!

recommendations for tank top brands for making cyanotypes on

hello!! i’ve made a few cyanotypes on paper and on canvas totes but i’d love to do some on shirts (specifically tank tops). i’m not looking to break the bank on some in case they don’t turn out, but i’d also like to be able to wear them if they do! i’m hoping this subreddit might have good recommendations for brands that make decent quality tank tops at a reasonable price!!
(if it helps, im in canada so not every american brand is easy to find here!)
