USE ON MULTIPLE SURFACES - This easy to use spray sealer works great on wood, metal, canvas, terra cotta and so much more Mod Podge is available at AC Moore, Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann, Michaels and WalMart. It is also available in smaller craft outlets and even online. One of the most common questions I get on this blog from readers is, “Is Mod Podge waterproof for coasters?” Note: if water is on your Mod Podge project for an extended period of time, you might notice some clouding.

What do you think? Are you a Mod Podge Die Hard? Or are you generally happy with the fake/ home made versions of things? Yes. Cure time is different than dry time. Dry is dry to the touch. Curing is a chemical strengthening process you can’t rush. It is when the formula has reached its peak chemical performance (essentially). 7. I waited the cure time and my project messed up! I always “prepare” my fabric before Mod Podging it down. This means I brush medium coat on, let it dry and then cut it to fit the surface. Applying the Mod Podge not only prevents fraying, but also makes the fabric more flexible and easier to adhere to the surface smoothly. It comes in 8 ounce and 16 ounce. You can find out where to buy this formula (amongst others) here. 5. What is the cure time – when can I wash my project? The issue is when something that is Mod Podged is exposed to a lot of water. The product is not “built” for submerging or exposure to water over a long period of time (and consistently).This is the #1 question I get– and it’s such an important question that I made this video. The key is using enough Mod Podge during application, and allowing the Mod Podge to dry long enough between layers. Please watch the video for all the details.

You should always wash brushes immediately after Mod Podging. Regular brush cleaner or non-abrasive soap works very well for cleaning brushes.You don’t need to use a new one each time as long as you wash the brushes out thoroughly before anything dries. What should I do if Mod Podge dries in my brush? You can make it waterproof by adding varnish to it. However, if you really want something waterproof, hardcore, then I would say you need to use varnish. Not mod podge at all. (Remember Mod Podge isn’t waterproof unless you select the waterproof option too.) and you are correct, modpodge is not waterproof unless you get the outdoor kind so you need to seal it. I am looking to try the Minwax polycrylic for that as here it seems to be the cheapest and it lasts on floors and furnature so it should be fine:) It’s time to showcase your artwork. After the sealer dries you can hang this painting or give it as a gift to someone you live.Let’s start with the obvious – what is Mod Podge? It’s all-in-one glue, and finish that does three things: You can watch this video, but here are my steps as well. I first prepare my surface by sanding wood, washing glass or tin, etc.I paint the surface with several coats of acrylic paint (if desired). Prepare your surface by cleaning it: if you are Mod Podging onto wood or canvas, wipe it clean to remove any dust. Painting with a brush allows for excellent control, good adhesion, and even, uniform coverage. It is slower than spraying and two coats are often required. Apply a top coat, and wipe away any excess medium that squeezes out around the edges. Let dry and repeat as desired.

It’s much stronger than Elmer’s, especially over the long haul. Read this post about why you shouldn’t make your own Mod Podge. Is Mod Podge waterproof when dry? Mod Podge: Easy to apply. Good protection. Gloss and Matte finishes. Can be tinted. Adhesive qualities. Some protection from fingerprints. Application: Brush on a thin layer and allow it to dry. Cons: Visible brushstrokes. Can pool at the edges. TIP: A sponge brush or roller can alleviate brush marks. (NOTE: I am referring to the original Mod Podge in this article.)No.It is waterbase and acrylic, which is great because that means it’s non-toxic. You can use it with your children without fear. But all these things mean that it’s not totally waterproof. Yeah, I know, that's a long time. If you don't want to wait that long, use Infusible Ink and the new Cricut Mug Press) What brand do I personally use? FolkArt or Martha Stewart brushes. Great quality, great price. What is the best way to clean brushes?Do I need to use a new one each time? People make glitter mugs all the time with this medium and they last for a long time after repeated dishwasher runs. Is Mod Podge permanent (since it isn’t waterproof)?
