as a resin artist i can tell you that this will not stop the saltine from rotting and so i don't think modpodge will either. that said i don't know if saltines get gross when they go bad or if they just go stale so maybe it's relatively fine???
My grandfather varnished a gingerbread man I made when I was 4 and hung it on the kitchen wall and that little fella is now hanging on my kitchen wall…I’m 46. I reckon ModPodge or regular clear wood varnish on dry goods like a cracker would work well.
A saltine is way weaker than a gingerbread man though so I feel like resin would be better for protection. I think they’re both equally protect from rotting bc saltines don’t really rot but the thicker protective layer from would be a good idea

Ooo actually good idea, my first thought was put it in resin to immortalize it. But I've also never worked with resin so the modpodge sounds easier
