What this decoupage glue and sealer does

This is Antique Matte Finish, 8 oz, straight from our own line. We bottle this one at 8 fl oz, which lands on a steady run of ordinary projects.

We make it in the United States, same as the rest of our line. One bottle does the gluing and the sealing, which is why our label says all-in-one.

Our formula is water based, so brushes rinse out under the tap and the room stays breathable while you work. We keep it non-toxic, so it belongs on a kitchen table with children around it. Our own surface chart lists it for appliques, beads and gems, canvas and ceramics. Nothing exotic — just the bottle that does the job.

These are the bottles where the look is already in the mix. Each one is still a decoupage glue and a sealant doing both jobs, with glitter, crackle, antique tint or a dead-flat matte added, so a single coat glues, seals and finishes at once. They dry clear around the effect and give the same durable film as the plain formulas, which is handy when you want the finish itself to be the decoration.

What people said about this one

★★★★★
Worked just like the original but gives you a light tan, yellowish finish color one white surface. Probably won’t buy again and just tint the original.

I used in my leaf-preservation project and found this matte to even be stronger than the Mod Podge Original Matte finish. There was no sticky feel to the leaves I coated, when applying it with the right amounts, which is my secret. There were certain leaf colors that were enhanced with this ivory-type of glow and I think "antique" is a good name for its color/hue.
