What is Mod Podge? Learn from an Expert! 

I probably seen Mod Podge at the stores a million times, but I didn't know what is was until today. This is going to make my current arcade project look 10 times better. Thanks!

Southern Coastal Oregon here - nice informative presentation full of solid good tips and encouragement. I've been working with Mod Podge for years. A fun, satisfying, versatile craft product. I've used it on rocks, canvass, wood, and paper. And now, seeing your presentation, I'm going to check out fabric projects, for a change of pace. You have an authentic, practical vibe about you that's refreshing - like you said, we're all constantly learning and exploring so thanks for the video.

It has been about 45 years since I have mod podged, I just stumbled on to your video and it brought back cool memories! I will be starting a project soon. Your videos no doubt will help me. Thank you!😀

Watching from Newark, Ohio. Totally clueless but excited. Thank God for You Tube and thank you for your help and teaching those of us who are new to this!

I am a military contractor who has a passion for doing everything myself. I am alone in San Diego so I started arts and crafts to do by myself to help keep me sane since I don't have friends or family out here. I think I started with woodworking first but stopped once I realized I needed hand tools instead of power tools because I'm in an apartment and I don't want my neighbors to hate me but I found out the proper tools I needed were quite expensive so I got a Cricut instead haha... I then taught myself Photoshop to make my own SVGs for Cricut vinyl etc. And now I'm getting into epoxy resin stuff so that's why I'm here because I don't understand what Mod Podge is exactly and I'm always up for learning 🙂 Thank you for answering!

I just went to Hobby Lobby to buy mod podge today and ended up getting sooo confused with all the different choices and info. I finally settled on a small jar of the basic matte. I'm glad to find your video! Thanx!

This is great. I just used mod podge for the first time on a painted shoe sole and kinda had a panic attack at first when it went on white. Feeling a lot better now!

I just bought that book at Michael's, I love it.

GLAD I found this!! from Alberta, Canada!

I found pieces of a kit in a box similar to this that had retro pictures and wood pieces in my dad’s workshop when I was cleaning it out after he passed away. This is how I got started with it. My sister or myself must of had this growing up.

Think you have covered everything for me, so helpful, thank you so much. Very informative. Scotland

Hi .... from Sydney, Australia. Ive used Mod Podge for many years, but always keen to learn more about it.

New York,Glad to see this video!

Great informative video. I did not know there were so many different MP products.

Hello from Phoenix, AZ. Never used Mod Podge before. I’m going to use it to stop burlap from fraying.

That was alot of info. Thank you so much. 🙂

Wow. Just what I needed to know. Thank u so much😊

Great video very informative. Thank you

Thank you for this info! Dutch Settlement, Nova Scotia :)

It's so funny. We didn't live in a suburb city or near one so we didn't have access to mod podge here in the southeast rural areas in the late 60s, so we used Elmer's glue. It worked fine for us but we had nothing to compare it to then. By the time the fad ended in the early to mid 70s here, the fad faded. Glad to see this had reentered into crafts! And now we use mod podge... Great product!

Hi I love Mod Podge .I am from Round Hill Nova Scotia Canada

Ty for your tutorial. From Chesterfield,Va.

Thanks a lot!🌹 From Switzerland 🇨🇭🤗

WOW simply awesome content.

Very informative video, thanks ☺️

I have a tip of beigneers and k wished someone told me about it earlier but to reactivate modpodge All you need to do is heat up some water as hot as you can get it, and use a sponge to apply it to the fabric or paper on the canvas. Leave it to sit for several minutes as it reactivates the Mod Podge

thank you, I have learned a lot.

Merci pour ce partage! J’utilise souvent la colle MOD PODGE pour de magnifiques créations ! Indispensable Bonne journée

Hey hey hey, all the way from Hartford Maine🌿🐝🥰

Dear Amy, I like your video very very interesting. I understand this is your first video, so I am going to point out where u may want to improve your videos. (1) Your audio system, when your husband speaks, the audio is very clear and loud which is good, when you speak there is big hall eco and you sound far away, I suggest you put another microphone on your t-shirt. (2) Hold the product bottle longer so as I may be able to read the product information. Focusing is another issue. You have one bottle very clear and in focus, while the others bottles seem to be out of focus. (3) Overall the video was very good. I liked the way you explained things. I will continue to watch out for any future videos. I am new at arts & crafts and I am sure I could learn a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your arts and crafts knowledge. I am watching from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Thank you for the information!!

Hey thanks for the information. I was wondering how mod podge would work with letters written in pencil or ink. I am trying to adhere letters I received to a canvas, and there are two parts of the project that I was wondering if I could use mod podge for (adhering the letters to the canvas and then sealing over them) I was wondering particularly with sealing over them if the mod podge would possibly cause the ink in the letters to bleed or somehow damage the paper itself.

I had to see since I've seen bottles in Walmart a hundred times but then I realize back in the 60 or 70 that was a pretty popular craft.

Hello from Houston, Texas!

Thanks for sharing!!

Hi there! I just stumbled upon your video and have a question. If I don’t have enough mod podge, could I use just elmers glue for the base (under my decoupage) and then just use the mod podge over the top? My project is I’m redoing an old dresser. I’ve sanded all the varnish off, so basically I’m working over bare wood on top of the drawers. OR….should I just buy more mod podge. I’m new to the mod podge medium. Thank you!

Which one do you use when applying crushed glass please. Thank you for the information. And I am going to get the glitter Mod Podge. Thanks again.

Valuable information! I am from Córdoba, Argentina. Will the technique work for making mahjong tiles?

Just joined Mod pod rocks today.

Great video. I want to use this to take paper napkins and make cardstock for home made cards.

I would love to see you do a acrylic paint pour on canvas,thanks so much for the info!

Hi I stumbled upon your video which I found very helpful thank you. Can I ask a question. I’ve recently started acrylic dot painting and I’ve just completed some mdf coasters. My concern was what to use to coat them and keep them heat proof. Some one suggested mod podge dishwasher safe. Would you agree this would work to coat them to keep them heat proof to with stand hot cups etc. TIA

Very useful. I am from. Charlotte north carolina

Greetings from Greece !

I am curious about the possibility of tinting Mod Podge. I imagine acrylic paint would work well. Would an ink need to be water based in order to work as a tint in Mod Podge?

Hello. From Long Island, NY here. Thank you so much for your video. Ive always wanted to decoupage but never endeavored mostly due to lack of time. But I am home recovering from surgery and just moved last year and there are lots of projects I‘ve been itching to do around my home. I have this vintage doorbell plastic case in my foyer that I’ve been wanting to revamp. And so I used mod podge today to glue on this beautiful French peacock tissue paper to cover. It’s drying now. But not sure if I can paint over the tissue with the mod podge to seal. Will the white color dry to clear? will continue to watch the video for the answer.

Hi Mary from Wisconsin up in the woods 🦋🌸🥰💝

Hi, thanks for the informative video. I'm not sure if you mentioned it here but how do I wash the brush after using? Can I just rinse in water? Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for a very informative video. Can I use the Matte Mod Podge then the glossy one on top of it? I'm doing a photo onto wood project. Thanks. All the best to you. Great job.

Hi. Watching from TN :)

Hello, from MD.. I have Mod podge mat. Is that good for applying vinyl decals on glass?

Good evening! Thank you for the lesson! I have a question, and I hope you could answer it : Can I use the dishwasher safe for soap dishes? Thank you!

Can you tell me what you pour your Mod Podge in to do a project or do you just ope the jar and use that? I would think it would get contaminated quickly that way. Wasn't sure what kind of container to pour it in for a single project use.

You are very professional. Thank you very much. I like to know if I can apply mod podge over a picture and then put on epoxy resin once it dries out. Thank you. Llewellyn

Hello I am new to mod podge. I am attempting to make a memorial plaque. I stained the wood with a water based stain. It is not sealed. I have a poster that I ordered and is printed on photo paper (pretty thick). My main questions are: Will the stain bleed through the photo/poster? Or should I seal it with something first? Also will the ink on the photo/poster itself bleed? I do not know what type of printer it was printed on. And finally is a spray shellac for arts and crafts ok to use for the finished product and/or possibly throughout other parts of the project as a sealer?

Which type of Mod Podge is best for using with rice paper? Thanks for sharing this information

Ok after applying MP to a tile , then do you wait till it dries then add your picture or paper or do you add the pic right away and add more mp on top

I am based in florida and I wanted to make a custom painted door rug/mat for my niece but im afraid it wont last outside too long . Do you think mod lodge would be a good solution to constant wear an tear on the rug to keep the art in tacked?

I am new to this and want to know do you put mod podge on broad first then add your design and go over with mod podge again?

Hi I made a Death eater mask from Harry Potter. I made with polyfila, cardboard and silver acrylic paint. I'm just wondering is it safe to use gloss mod podge ontop to seal and finish it because I'm scared the paint will disappear and possibly the polyfil when I use the mod podge?

Thanks so much

Hello! I want to use this cause I'm crafting some Edward Scissorhands's hands. I'm using ice cream sticks and paper for the blades and then I'll apply this to make it more resistant and stuff. Can I sand it tho? And then apply acrylic paint to it?

Hi - I'm writing from Dubai. Thanks for your video, it is very helpful. I am trying to make photo coasters. Unfortunately, they seem to still stick to my coffee cups. I did three coats of Mod Podge, and a coat of Automotive Engine Enamel. I thought that would do it, but it didn't. They stuck really badly today, maybe because I transferred them to a spare room (with no air conditioning?) In this video, you said to spray polyurethane on top after automotive engine enamel, So I will try that next. Can you tell me how much time between each product? How long do I wait after Mod Podge to put the Engine enamel? And how long do i wait after the engine enamel to put polyurethane? And then how long until I can sell them and be sure they will not stick ? Thanks very much.

Hi how long do I wait before I can put a hot cup of coffee on my mod podge homemade wood coaster also what’s the best mod podge “top coat” for a wooden decoupage coaster. Thanks 😊

Good information. Can you Mod Podge an oil painting on canvas and which one would I use?

I'm making a birdhouse as a gift. I may paint on it or apply fabric and Mod Podge. What do you suggest would be the best MD to use so it could actually be used outdoors?

I have a question: I want to customise my headphones so if they are of black colour so can I use white acrylic paint and I want to colour it with posca marker so should I seal it after doing colouring with posca marker or should I seal both after white acrylic and after posca marker

What Mod Podge bottle do I use for a color picture of a paper doll I downloaded from my computer using regular typing paper ? I plan on glueing the typing paper sheet image of this doll first on thicker piece of cardboard, cutting it out and if possible I want to give it a little shine . also do I have to spray the image first with hair spray so that the layer of mod podge won't make the colors of my paper doll run ? Thanx ! 😉👍

I starting making air fresheners using heat transfer paper but when I apply the design to the material then apply the fragrance it causes the colours to run a bit. Would this stop that from happening?
