Product review…

I have to start this review with a confession and an apology.

I have talked smack about Mod Podge for years. I would cringe when I saw jars of it in my workshops. I would tell people the reasons you should never use Mod Podge in your art journal. I would tell them horror stories of collages falling out of there journals, yellowed pages and pages stuck together. Now I have to eat a partial crow. I have found a Mod Podge product that has a very specific use in an art journal.

Mod Podge Ultra comes in a spray bottle and I have finally found a way to use up my water-reactive sprays. My style of art has never been conducive to using water reactive products, like Distress Ink or Dylusions sprays. I like to layer and layer and layer and then I might add a layer. I need permanent products, which is why I lean towards acrylics. I have a drawer full of water reactive sprays though. Why you may ask? Well, I love art products and I love both Tim Holtz’s products and anything by Dylusions. I buy them because I love the colors. I love how easy it is to use sprays. I love having gobs of supplies. Now ask me if I use them.

In the past I have experimented with adding gel medium or matte medium over the sprays to make them permanent. I have tried fixative sprays. I have tried one color family so I didn’t care if the colors reactivated. I have had minimal success with these attempts. That is why the sprays were still in my drawer. Then Mod Podge Ultra spray walked into my shopping cart.

Do you want to see how it works?
