Mod Podge Matte Waterbase Sealer, Glue and Finish - 16 oz

Product Information

To make a jar of fake / homemade Mod Podge you need 1 cup of glue and 1/3 cup of water. These proportions are perfect – don’t mess with them. Other internet recipes for homemade Mod Podge abound but they are TOO WEAK. Beware! Shake really well and use as you would Mod Podge. To make it gloss add 2 table spoons of water based varnish or to make the sparkly add super fine glitter. Prepare your surface by cleaning it with mild soap and water, then rinsing off and drying completely. You know that antique finish above?Well now there are more colors.It’s perfect for glass.It comes in aqua, blue, brown, green, orange, pink, purple, red, and yellow. Ultra Matte Chalk Mod Podge Wear protective gloves, eye protection and clothes that you don’t mind getting messy when using Mod podge. Thank you so much, just finished making photo ornaments with my grand girls. Works just as well as the original and a way lot cheaper.

Once the surfaces are in place, use your fingers or a brush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over top of all glued parts evenly, including along the edges where they join together. Allow this layer to fully dry before continuing with your project.Adhere Surfaces Together: Carefully place the two surfaces together, making sure they’re aligned properly. Press firmly around all edges with your fingers or a tool like a spoon or roller until all air bubbles are gone and the surfaces adhere completely together. Consider tinting your Mod Podge. If you made Mod Podge out of glue and water, you can add a few drops of food coloring, and then paint it over some mason jars. This will create colored mason jars. Be sure to add 2 tablespoons of water-based gloss or varnish to your Mod Podge, or else the jars will be matte and frosted-looking.

Does Mod Podge Work on Glass?No need to spend a fortune on store bought Mod Podge when you can make it at home. Can I get a woo-hoo? 🙂 Stay tuned to this blog all summer long as we create a whimsical cosplay build with natural elements. We will be continually adding to this blog throughout the summer This was entirely my response as well, Kathy! I knew it was something basic, but not the term we use stateside!

The time spent together is so much fun and we love thinking about what our next project will be. Let us know how your homemade mod podge turns out.But over time, crafters have discovered that you can also use Mod Podge as an adhesive for other materials like wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, glass, and more. So the short answer is yes – you can use Mod Podge as Glue! If you want to get down to the nitty gritty, Mod Podge is a polymer that contains polyvinyl acetate, defined as “a synthetic resin made by polymerizing vinyl acetate, used chiefly in paints and adhesives.” Paper Mod Podge: this formulation is specifically for scrapbookers who want archival quality glues. This is going to be a hard one because it depends! For example, I live in Florida where it is super humid (like 90% humidity some days) so it takes a long time for it to completely dry here. When I lived in Colorado it was a much drier climate and it dried much faster. I am a massive mod podge fan but you are right it is a very expensive product and I always figured it must be pva glue and something else. Was heading out today to buy some but I will give the homemade version a go 🙂 there are plenty of different brands doing the same thing and mod podge has released another 20+ different types, from glitter to 3D! Would love some info on how to make all the different types one day 🙂 thanks heaps Xx
