Questions & Answers
Because I was unsure, I gave it a shot for you- I used regular notebook paper and a cottage cheese container that was no longer in use. I applied a thin layer of mod podge to the container, smoothed down the paper, and applied another thin layer of mod podge, making sure there were no air bubbles. It felt pretty well adhered after about an hour of drying time. I think it would look great with a few more coats of sealant and a clear acrylic finish.
PVA glue thinned with water, I believe, is what modpodge is. Modpodge pva is a keyword that you can look up on Google. If that's the case, unlike acrylic, modpodge isn't waterproof, and it's white when wet but clear when dry. It also dries to be as flexible as vinyl.
Only on jigsaw puzzles have I ever used matte mod podge. It's great for puzzles, and I'm sure I'll use it for other things in the future. Fabric on furniture, on the other hand, is something I'm not sure about.
You could put it in an empty gallon milk jug to keep it clean. If you're using a snap-on lid, make sure to cover the lip with saran wrap before putting the cap on, or use a screw-on lid.
Selected User Reviews For Mod Podge CS11302 Waterbase Sealer, Glue and Finish, 16 oz, Matte
It's fantastic! For years, I've used Matte Mod Podge for all of my paper crafts, as well as to grunge or sparkle up any of my creations! Mod Podge is great for all kinds of gluing projects, from primitive to farmhouse. br>This purchase was the cheapest Mod Podge I've found, even with a coupon at the craft supply store!br>Mod Podge Rocks, their website, has tons of videos and a blog full of ideas and tips on how to best use their product. I'll definitely be purchasing it from here in the future, especially since I consume so much of it! br> I also like that the matte finish Mod Podge doesn't have the same smell as the gloss finish (which you don't notice once it's dry), in fact, the matte finish has no scent at all. I also like that you can paint on it with almost anything you want to mix in it. I've tried mixing it with acrylic paint, chalk paint, and even my own homemade chalk paint, and it still works perfectly. I've also experimented with various mediums such as glitter, glass glitter, cinnamon, and coffee, to name a few. I enjoy working with this product and would recommend it to anyone over any other brand or making your own with glue. Using school glue with a little water, as shown in some tutorials, will not seal your projects; it will turn yellow and, if mixed with other materials, will crack over time. I've tried them all, so believe me when I say that I've tried everything! Mod podge is the only thing that seals, protects, and can be worked with added mediums without falling apart or changing colors unintentionally!.
Mod Podge is a new discovery for me, and I'm really enjoying it. I was given the task of coming up with a cute gymnastics team theme for my daughter. They were given new warm-weather clothing. We wanted some cute matching shoes to go with our red glitter backpacks and ups. We considered bows at first, but after watching a few videos and doing some research online, I decided to try adding glitter to some slide ins. Well, I must say, they turned out fantastically! The shoes were $3 on clearance, so I picked up some Mod Podge and red glitter, and voila! I've been dubbed the "Mom Hero" for the first time! They're a hit with everyone, and they arrived just in time for our Saturday meet! br>br>How did I do it? br>Used sandpaper to lightly sand the area of the shoe that I wanted to glitterbr>Placed the shoe on news paperbr>Used a brush to apply a thick layer of Mod Podgebr>Sprinkle the glitter onto the shoe and the Mod Podgebr>Let sit for 5 minutesbr>Tap the excess glitter off of the shoebr>Let the shoe dry over nightbr>.
This was my first time using Mod Podge, and it worked out great. I'm glad I did some research and reading before starting my project because I've heard that the matte finish dries quickly and isn't tacky. After applying a picture to a wooden surface with Mod Podge, I let it dry according to the directions before sealing it with acrylic sealer. The Mod Podge goes on thickly, so patience and a good brush are required to apply it without leaving brush strokes. After the first coat, I was a little hesitant to sand out the dried brush strokes because I didn't want to ruin the photo I had just applied. However, with a little patience and forethought, my project was successfully completed. I would suggest looking for this product locally, as you can see from the photo of the issue I had.
This was purchased for the purpose of gluing a puzzle together. One of the other reviews suggested using a squeegee, which was the best piece of advice I've ever received. My puzzle was sealed in just two coats, and you can barely tell it's glued. The white consistency makes it easy to see if any spots were missed, but it dries clear. I imagine brush marks would result if you used a brush. There will be no marks if you use a squeegee. Despite the fact that the instructions state that the finish may be "tacky" and that it should be sealed with a clear sealer, I did not find this to be the case for the two coats I applied to my puzzle. I'm guessing I used about 1 oz per coat using the squeegee from the 16 oz bottle. Added a photo: br>br> I wanted to show how much paint I used for one coat, as well as how it looked before and after drying. I wiped the squeegee back and forth a lot over the entire puzzle to get excess glue off and remove lines of excess glue, but it was difficult to get close ups of the finished texture. Because it dries quickly, I'd make sure to work quickly.
I like this product because it dries clear with a hint of sheen; it's not completely matte, but I prefer it because it brings out the color in the photo. This actually improves the appearance of the image. I may leave a few brush strokes here and there, but that's because I used too much. It dries smoothly with no visible brush strokes when applied in thin coats. It's ideal for my work. I've also used it on wood boxes, with fantastic results. It is simple to use. After the back of the picture has been coated, I can manipulate the paper to fit the plates and go nicely around the corners of the plates without it drying out or ripping. I tried both the satin and the gloss to see how they differed, and Matte is clearly superior to the other two. This is a must-have item for me when making my miniature works of art.
This is a puzzle saver for me. That's exactly what it's for. This comes in a variety of sheens, but for puzzles I plan to frame, I prefer the matte version. Because this product is a little thick, it will leave brush marks on the surface. However, I've discovered that diluting it to a more liquid consistency results in a smoother finish. I use kitchen parchment paper to cover the completed puzzle and Mod Podge to "paint" the surface. I apply another coat after it has dried (it is white and dries clear). I flip the puzzle over and finish the back after three coats of dried paint. When you do the back, the multiple coats will seal the puzzle piece seams and prevent leakage. It looks great and can be framed because the Mod Podge dries clear and does not yellow. It's fantastic material. br>br>If some puzzle pieces appear to absorb too much moisture during the first coat and darken at the edges, don't worry. When the glue dries, the puzzle pieces do as well, and the dark edges are no longer visible.
