How to use the matte finish,
By
This review is from: Mod Podge CS11302 Original 16-Ounce Glue, Matte Finish (Kitchen)
I am a paper crafter (not scrapbooker) who uses Mod Podge by the gallon. This stuff can be used for adhesion, sealing, decoupage, and applying dimensional textures to a certain extent. After using Mod Podge for many years, the matte finish in the yellow bottle has become my favorite, although all Mod Podge products are great and come recommended by me. The trick is to know which finish of Mod Podge to use for your needs.
As a paper crafter, I prefer the matte finish because it has the most durable and well textured finish for decoupage and sealing my paper projects. I prefer to use a sponge brush to apply this to my crafts. The glossy and satin formulas can leave sealed projects just ever so slightly tacky to the touch once completely dry. If I use the glossy or satin finish to coat, say, a decoupaged notebook - after letting the finish dry completely I could still stack finished notebooks to store them and they might stick together. So I wouldn't use those formulas for projects that need more durability and protection. (For another example, I'll chose matte when I decoupage a surface of furniture, as it might get a lot of wear and items set upon it each day. But for an art project that will merely hang on the wall I'm more likely to chose the glossy or satin.) The matte finish has preformed the best for my decoupage projects. That said, you can always use a clear acrylic spray finish on top of your mod podge to get rid of any remaining "tackiness" no matter which formula you might use. The matte finish, obviously, has a dull non-shiny appearance once dry. If you would like a shiny finish, choose the gloss Mod Podge finish in the classic red bottle. Then there is the satin finish in the orange (or purple for hard coat) bottle, which has a slight haze in it's finish and will thus show brush strokes and scratches less often than matte & gloss. Of course there are also several other Mod Podge products now on the market, as the crafting industry is booming these days and they are broadening their spectrum of products, which is wonderful for us crafters! I recommend any of their formulas, honestly, just research which one best suits your project before purchasing.

A Classic,

What can I say? Mod Podge is the classic crafting glue, and it's easy to see why. It spreads evenly, dries quickly, and has great sticking power. This is very handy stuff to have around, and works for a wide variety of craft projects. It dries clear, so can be used as a sealant as well as glue.

This review is from: Mod Podge CS11302 Original 16-Ounce Glue, Matte Finish (Kitchen)
I use Mod Podge on everything! I've been a crafty gal since I was little, and when I discovered Mod Podge it was all over. With every possible finish, the options are endless. I use the Matte finish when I'm doing collages on canvas. It doesn't stand out as much against the paint that way. If I want a finished effect, I'd use the glossy.
