What is Mod Podge Dimensional Magic? 

I’m in NYC and work w polymer clay. I am severely allergic to uv resin, found out the hard way, and I’ll never touch it again . I’ve used Mod Podge before and am hoping that I can get a similar finish with one or more of these products. I had a bottle of dimensional, bought a long time ago, and I did use it on one of my pieces and was surprised that it actually moved like UV resin. I have a way to go to use it well but I think I’m sold! Thanks for this video. I’ve subscribed.

I use it to decorate oyster shells after I apply glitter nail polish, rock salt, beads, pearls, etc…I then apply dimensional magic and for the most part it works great but you have to cover all the beads, etc that you place on the shell. I did have one or two that came out a bit cloudy. It’s definitely a learning process.

I loved using Dimensional Magic, and used it for some small ornaments for the Christmas tree. I made about 30, and put them in a box after they had dried. I was very happy with the result, and happily showed them to my daughter 2 weeks later. However after another 3 weeks, about a third of them had gone yellow. I tried to work out the cause, but I haven't been able to figure out why some were yellowed and others were not, as I used the same process for them all, and they were made from the same base materials and stored the same way. The Dimensional Magic had been applied to store bought stickers applied to acrylic painted and sealed wood circles. The wood circles were completely dry and sealed. The stickers had been coated with mod podge and dried before applying the Dimensional magic. As you can imagine I was disappointed, as a lot of work had gone into the project. To rescue them I then had to sand down the yellowed items to get the yellow coating off and then applied UV resin on top as I didn't trust the Dimensional Magic I had used. I thought perhaps the product I used (I used 2 bottles) may have been "old" (bought from the same store at the same time and used at home within a week, but it could have been that one of the bottles was old on the shelf in the store). I would love to try Dimensional Magic again, but I'm a bit concerned about ruining a project again...

NC here. You can really see the difference between the scrapbook stickers! I've used all the ModPodge products except this one. Now that I see what it can do, that will change!

Hi I’m from Minnesota! I use dimensional magic on acrylic blanks to make keychains 😊

I've only used Mod Podge 3 times but just bought some more supplies. I'm from northern NY in the woods and off grid. Cool product. I should have picked one up today. Love, love, love your shirt.

Very good. I was looking for an alternative to resin that is not as toxic.

Love Mod Podge...just discovered it this last Fall.

Great tips/video! Thank you!

Does it matter if I use mod podge matte or gloss to glue and seal in this bezel project you did in this video?😊

If i use another glue in my project (like elmers or tacky glue) will dimensional magic work as well and cure clear? 😊

I'm working with clay so like the outcome of creating 3D.

I cut out a tiny iPad from the stuff that came with an iPad and painted over it to make a cute Barbie iPad years ago.

It great to coat the Eyes 9n my figures mixes great with Food Coloring You can even add a second coat before The first one Drys. Reflects like glass

I know this is an older post but I still hope you can help me. I am making different products like acrylic disks and also paint and glitter on wooden disks. So I am wondering which mod podge I can use best for finish?

Hi, I'm from Sweden! I am making shrink plastic and got me some dimensional magic but it looked a little cloudy in the bottle, I haven't actually used it yet. My bottle doesn't have a tip tho, so I'm thinking about geting a pipette but I'm afraid that there wil be alot of air bubbles, I'll see what I do! UV resin is way to expensive here, and also a UV light just costs too much.

aussie hear from aussieland. thanx for your vid

I use mod podge for glittering and of course, decoupage...in Oregon

I'm from the philippines and I came across it on shopee. I want to try it to "seal" acrylic paint and paint marker on acrylic keychains. Will it do the job? I wanna know before I buy.

Hi, I tried to use Mod Podge I waited 24 hours and still they have a clouthy looking, it's not cristal clear like it says :( did I used to much?? or is the Mod Podge??? Because when I touch it it's dry, should I wait more time?? like 2 days?? I'm not sure, because one of the Keycharms I made it's been 2 days with the Mod Podge and still doesn't looks cristal clear

Can you add acrylic paint or other colors with this

Hello, I have a question. After my mod podge dried it had like little cracks on it. How can I avoid this mistake?

Can magic be used on air dry clay to give it more durability?

can you use dimensional magic on plastic and acrylic?

Thanks!!! This is very informative

Portland Oregon and no I've never used dimensional magic but I've used regular mod podge for 30 plus years

do you know of a cheaper version of this or a way to make it because i want to do it for my art students but its going to be priced out for 500 students. thanks

You may have answered this somewhere but I just found you and you explain things really well and are informative. I paint wooden blanks and I've found that when I've used other mediums to top coat, makeup ribs of on the back and I'm looking for something that people can be wiped down with a damp cloth without smearing or ruining the paint on the back. Do you think this may be a savior? Lol 🤣 thank you ahead of time.

I ordered this from Amazon but it is coming out extremely cloudy I let the project dry for two days as I read somewhere that the project may not be dry but it is still coming out cloudy and ruining my projects please could you help me.

Thank you.

I'm so jealous of your T-shirt. I MUST have a Mod Podge t-shirt! Are they for sale anywhere?

can you use this as a sealer on canvas?

I'm from Canada! And I have not used this yet :)

G'day! ;) I'm looking for something to toughen and seal cardboard board game tokens, covering both surfaces and the edge(s). Could you sand Dimensional Magic, to flatten the surfaces? Could you achieve a matte or satin finish? Or could you then buff it, to bring back the gloss? And how would you suggest sealing the edge(s)? Could you use, say, regular Mod Podge on the edges, in combination with Dimensional Magic on the surfaces? Any other tips you would suggest for this kind of project?

Thanks for the Video! I can't wait to try this. If I want to add glitter and add another coat. You have to let each layer dry correct? Thank you!

It was a copy from another company that makes this for scrap booking Hobbies

Hi! I’m glueing paper images onto brass metal with mod podge, do I need to put glue over the image as well before applying dm? I noticed in the video you applied dm on the image without sealing it? Ty!

Hello, could I possibly use regular mod podge as a dimentional glue?

Can you apply an htv after you have sealed project with dimensional magic?

can you use these for acrylic 2 inch keychain disc

Can I use this as a glossy sealer for a wooden sign I made with letter transfers on it - or can regular Mod Podge be used instead?

Thanks! I was actually hoping this would be like brushstroke mod Podge. I think that is discontinued now? Is anyone able to recommend a product similar to it? Thanks!!

👍 When the material has hardened, could I possibly remove it later? If yes how?

Can l use stamps?

Can you use it in silicone molds to crate items ?

Can you use it on baked polymer clay

I use to use this and after a year or so, this stuff became extremely cloudy and I did NOT have any moisture under it. This stuff is horrible long term.

New subie just found your channel was making my first set of chipboard ornaments then thought I wish I had something to finish it with then found an old bottle of dimensional magic unopened :O. So here I am any advice?

Love your video! I'm making earrings with a wood base and scrap book paper. Do I have to seal the paper with regular mod podge on top of the adhered paper before adding the dimensional magic? How thick should I cover the earring with the DM? Also, does the DM yellow over time? Thank you!

Does it add shine if I use it on my resin dominos

My dimensional magic is showing hairline "cracks" under the coating. I noticed it on the back of my earrings after I took them off for the day. Do you know what might have happened?
