Paper Gloss Finish, 8 oz

What this decoupage glue and sealer does to paper

Here is Paper Gloss Finish, 8 oz, the way we bottle it. At 8 fl oz, this size is aimed at a steady run of ordinary projects.

It is acid-free, which matters when the thing underneath is a photograph you cannot reprint. We mix it on water, which means clean-up is a rinse and nothing sharp hangs in the air.

We make it in the United States, same as the rest of our line. It is non-toxic by our formulation, which is why it turns up in classrooms as often as in studios. Our own surface chart lists it for appliques, beads and gems, canvas and glitter. Nothing exotic — just the bottle that does the job.

Paper wrinkles because it is carrying too much water, not because it is bad paper. This part of the line is a decoupage glue and sealant mixed thin for exactly that: less water into the sheet, a smooth film that dries clear, and enough grip to hold a finished puzzle together as one durable piece. Thin coats from the middle out do the rest.
