What this decoupage glue and sealer does to paper

Here is Paper Matte Finish, 16 oz, the way we bottle it. At 16 fl oz, this size is aimed at regular crafting without refilling every month.

It will not go yellow on you, so white paper stays white. We make it in the United States, same as the rest of our line.

Acid-free means keepsake paper does not go brown on you years later. Non-toxic is not a footnote for us — it is the reason this bottle survives family craft night. Our own surface chart lists it for appliques, beads and gems, canvas and glitter. We keep one of these open on the bench most of the time.

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.

I see so many people using Mod Podge for their mixed media, but I've always had a problem with stickiness after using it. Then I saw a recommendation to use the blue bottle, so I decided to try it. I'm happy to say, it works to fasten down and coat my papers and dries without stickiness!
