Mod Podge - 1469 Clear Acrylic Sealer, 12 ounce, Matte

Great Spray

I loved the final appearance of the spray, which is matte and seals perfectly. It also dries quickly and is easy to use. Like all Mod Podge products, this one is superior. I will be trying it on plain wood as well for a sealer, and I feel sure that the result will be perfect.

Product works well

I just sprayed this stuff on for a decal to stick and bingo..done. It says to use in a well ventilated area and I did, so that is important because there is a smell. It’s spray on so it’s easy to use. Quality is great and you can use it on all kinds of surfaces. Good value when you need this.

I used this to coat posters, and I have also used it on marker artwork, as well as chalk and charcoal. It seals stuff up really well, and looks nice. It eliminates most of the sheen from glossy prints, and makes thin paper much more rigid and durable. When applied correctly, it enhances the image.On posters, it preserves them so you can wipe them down with a cloth if needed. It also straightens them out, and makes any finger prints, marks, or dents almost invisible. Quite good hanging them without a frame with some adhesive strips. This stuff is pretty forgiving, and easy to use with a little practice. The can does not last as long as you may think.. Using light coats, one can will do around 8-10 even coats on a 36x24 surface. This is probably enough to do two medium sized posters (24x32) on heavy stock, or one on light stock. Light stock is very flimsy, and will dent easy. Adding 5-6 coats on front, and 2-4 on back will make it much more durable, flat, and rigid.Here are some tips:-Use some masking tape to straighten out your work, tape the backside to some cardboard.-Spray outside, in the warmth of the sun. This helps with drying and ventilation (it's horrid to breathe)-Spray so that the mist goes straight downward, about a foot away from the artwork. Angles cause it to run and look bad.-Use light coats, do not spray an area more than 1/3 to 1/2 a second. Less is better. Matte surfaces are more forgiving than glossy. If you mess up and spray too much in an area, it will become glossy and affect the colors at angles (Becase it looks darker in that area). You can clean it up a little by spraying some light coats over these areas after it dries, but it will never clear up completely.-Allow each layer to dry for 5-10 minutes, it will dry very fast in the sun.-After the layer dries, brush off any particles, and pick out any hairs or contaminates. Doing so may make lines or marks in the coat, but they will clear up completely on the next coat.-Spray the back of the work as well if it is thin stock, this will help straighten it out and protect it.The cost of this is a little higher than it should be. I used to get it at 5-6$ a can. Would be nice to be able to buy 2-4 cans at a discounted price. Also, the nozzle isn't the best. If you don't clear it between coats, it can spit out some dried plastic junk on your artwork or make splatters. To prevent this, just do a quick spray away from your artwork to clear the nozzle between coats.

Used this to provide a seal to painting I did on a wood surface. Does not leave residue and leaves a nice matte finish, you can barely tell anything is on there.

Easy to use

Used to seal waterslide decals on guitar headstocks. Using fine spray coats, each was dry to touch in 15 minutes even in a cold garage (open the doors for ventilation!). Built up multiple coats and it dried smooth and clear.
