You can forget to answer the most basic of questions when you are a blogger.There is a big question that I would like to answer now.
The answer to the question "does Mod Podge dry clear?" is yes.When applied properly, Mod Podge dries completely clear.
I don't want to give you a short answer and then split, because I know some of you have situations where Mod Podge does not dry clear.I would like to address those now.
There are a few scenarios in which Mod Podge may not dry out.You can see if any of these scenarios fit your situation.
I see this problem when readers send me images of Mod Podge that is still white.There is usually clumping.
The best way to apply Mod Podge is with several thin layers.It is hard to wait because I am not a patient person.It is best for project success.Trust me.
If you end up with clumps, I recommend using a very fine grain sandpaper to sand them away.It works well and you can either make it perfect or improve it.
This is related to the one above, but sometimes instead of clumping and a thick layer of decoupage, several thin layers are applied within minutes of each other.The recommended time is 15 to 20 minutes.Trust me!
I had this happen to me once when I added decoupage to a glass jar.It took days for it to be dry.
I threw the project away because I couldn't get the Podge to dry after heating it in the oven.The air had to be able to get into the jar to dry it.bulb moment!
In a humid climate, any decoupage medium is going to take longer to dry.It could take days if you live in Thailand.Maybe a long time?I am just kidding, but humidity prolongs dry time.
Readers have had issues with Mod Podge drying in a freezing climate.You should use Mod Podge at room temperature as much as possible.
This is very rare.I have gotten emails from people who have used bottles that are 10 years old.
The recommended shelf life is two years.It could be longer because of a variety of factors.
Sometimes a bad bottle is produced, even if it is brand new.There are millions of Mod Podge bottles produced each year.You have to expect some bad apples.Contact Plaid if you have any questions about your bottle.

Hello, Sahara!You can wet it with steel wool.It could be very fine sandpaper.I would do that.
Hi!What if you just dumped the bottle and it was just thick white mod podge?Is it fixable?
It depends on how thick it is.If you have time, give it a few days.It may not be fixable if it isn't drying or clearing up.
I am using MP to glue and seal a piece of card stock.The paint is white and the MP is drying.I am comparing it to the other white wood squares that have not been used with MP yet.How do I get it to stop?When going over a white surface, no one else seems to have this issue.Thank you!
Hi!It's most likely something in the paint or the paper.White paint does not turn yellow with Mod Podge.It will act weird with Mod Podge if you are using latex or other paint.If this doesn't fix the issue, send me an email.FolkArt paint, Apple Barrel, and Delta craft paints work well with Mod Podge.Make sure you don't have Mod Podge that's too old.
We used modpodge on the puzzle.It was difficult to apply a thin first coat with a foam brush.The excess modpodge was cleared using a credit card.Need help with this.?
Hi Edmund!Get the coat as thin as possible.You don't want to use a credit card.It will dry out.
I used Mod Podge to seal the cans after they were painted.When it died, it was fine.The first coat was undamaged because there were a few spots that needed to be corrected.I used a sledgehammer and it turned out great.I don't know what I can do to get rid of the white.Thank you.There is a person named Jo.
