What kind of mod podge do i need

Is there something I can use to bend them to form? I was going to cover in saran wrap but not sure if that would stick. Put a coat on the bit of the lamp shade that you are working on.

I was using flowers from a tissue napkin single layer. Laid it onto the saran wrap face down and gave it the tissue a coat of modge podge. Carefully lifted the saran wrap and laid the flower onto the shade using the saran wrap. Works brilliantly, you can move the tissue about easily and gently smooth it. Gently peel off the wrap leaving the cut out. Sometimes the tissue wants to come away with the wrap but I just give it another minute for the tissue to start to stick to the shade and once again tease off the wrap.

Occasionally a little corner gets turned over and these are easily sorted with a pair of tweezers and a little more modge podge. When I Mod Podge glass plates with scrapbook paper I always get bubble like spots no matter how much I work on smoothing it out. What am I doing wrong? Have you experimented with how much or what type of Mod Podge or you are using? I find that I put some Mod Podge on the underneath and then a couple thinner layers on top. I smooth it out after sticking the first layer on top of the Mod Podge and then smooth it after the mod podge is on top.

I try and not use too much in those layers. Sorry you are having troubles with it. I am using Mod Podge to put paper doilies on empty wine bottles. How do I get the extra, dried-on Mod Podge off the bottle in between my doily designs so my bottle looks clear? Thank you! Have you tried using a toothpick with some nail polish remover on it. Is there a reason when i wet the paper the ink is bleeding and black turns to green?

I have seen it bleed. I would definitely give the ink time to dry if you are printing it out of the printer. I would also limit the amount of Mod Podge used on the first coat. I would do a lite coat and then come back and do another coat later. I wonder if it has to do with the kind of ink in your printer too. Another helpful reader chimed in: if your mod podging your own printed images try spraying them after the ink is dry with a spray sealer, you can use the sealer that you use to finish your project like the Mod Podge spray.

Works a treat. Can i use Mod Podge on clear acrylic or will it streak? I am trying to use on plastic clipboard. Can I use mod podge on fondant? I want to preserve the top decoration of a specialty cake. If so, what type of mod podge will preserve fondant?

Also i want to adhere the fondant to fabric that has been mod podged. What will adhere the fabric and top the best? Thank you. I would not use Mod Podge on fondant. Are you making this out of actual cake or is it a foam top?

If it is an actual cake, I would just freeze the entire top tier of the cake. Hi I have worked with Mod Podge before but the surface I was working with was glass. I am now trying to create a Photo collage on a big cardboard letter from Hobby Lobby. Will I be able to mod podge pictures to the cardboard? Will the paper the pictures are printed out on be to thick? Will they stick? I also did Mod Podge on cardboard hat boxes for my wedding — all with pictures.

I would NOT use normal photo paper or heavier stock paper. The best way to do this is to print your pictures out onto normal printer paper. Cut them out. Add Mod Podge to the letter, stick on the paper picture and layer your pictures as you would like. Do a coat of Mode Podge over the entire product at the end. I hope that helps. Can Modge Podge be used to accomplish this? I would use a sealant like the Krylon Preserve It Spray.

I want to Mod Podge cardboard cut outs of products to a wooden board… is the possible? If so what are the steps? I would use wood glue to actually adhere the cardboard cutouts. You could do a coat of Mod Podge on top to create a more finished look. Allow minutes in between coats. If lightly sanding between coats, I would allow more drying time. Mod Podge will dry to the touch within a few hours. It will be cured in four weeks.

For more special and involved projects, I would definitely take the time to cure before the project has heavy use. You can use a spray on acrylic sealer to further protect your creations. Always prep your surfaces well. This will mean some surfaced need to be washed and cleaned well.

Some surfaces, like plastic and wood, will do well with a light sanding. Make sure to remove dust from product before proceeding. Although this was addressed in my first ten tips and my reader questions, I want to address it really quick here too. Using a smoother tool will be helpful. Always smooth from the center out to push air pockets to the edge and out. If bubbles do occur, try using a pin to pop the bubble and then work down with your finger of gently with a smoothing tool.

Make sure to allow your Mod Podge to have at least minutes drying time between coats. Allow projects to cure for 4 weeks. Be conservative with the thickness of your layers.

I was referring to wood. Good luck. I hope it turns out great. Fun idea! I am a first time mod podger. I find it first appears white but dries clear.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to help. Good luck! I applied one layer of modge podge over the photos once I had them glued down. Ugh — So sorry. I have only had success trying the techniques I talked about prior to it drying. I wish I were more help.

I read somewhere you can poke the bubble with a pin and then do another layer of modpodge. Thank you so much for adding to the conversation.
