I am new to Mod podge and decoupage, I want to glue paper or fabric to a glass vase, but I want a high gloss and hard finish. Which one should I use?

I would try a couple coats of the gloss, then a couple coats of the hard coat.

If your referring to a finishing spray like krylon or new mod podge finishing spray I find if u do a light first coat and let dry then no it wont run. But if u don't coat both sides of paper then liquid can seep in from the back and make colors run. Spray both sides of paper. Hope this helps

I use a small paper note pad and squirt two even puddles of resin and hardener on the pad. Then I mix the two puddles together well. I mix a little more than I think I need for the job and use any extra on any other any other projects I have.

I use the tacky glue for all most everything. If you are careful it won't wrinkle the paper like other glues. Test your paper with the polyurethane to make sure it will not damage it. If the area is large you might want to use a contact glue because the tacky glue drys quickly.

I always buy gloss. I am not aware if it comes in satin or matte finishes. There are so many different types of plastics that I cannot say that it works on "all" plastics. I have sprayed it over THIN washes of acrylic artists' paint on canvas and other materials. I have had problems with spraying this over over acrylic clear sprays, like Krylon Crystal Clear. Sometimes the paint surface buckles. I have sprayed it over DRY gold and metal leaf with good results. It also seems to work over DRY gold size, a type of varnish. I have also tried it on fiberglass furniture with high gloss finishes. Sometimes it will not take on this type of surface. I have also sprayed it on small pieces of metal jewelry (but usually prefer not to do this). Hope this helps. You should probably experiment in scraps of different types of plastic.

I think Bondo Glass is to difficult to work into wood. It is dries very hard and hard to sand, you might end up damaging to wood around it.

I Just be aware that it is high gloss. It you want the flat finish that is another version of the product. The stipple on the plastic will make it somewhat white looking which could be a problem on dark surface color.

Now, there are 2 way, sticking it with glue on the rim of the vases. Which is more permanent, the Glue at the dollar store/Home Depot will do the magic.Secondly I will go with cutting the mesh, width wise in half , so it is narrow, and then I can tie it on the top and base of the tall wedding vase, and secure tightly with a pin if need be.

Tough thing with epoxy resins is that it flows. The fiberglass cloth, if used properly, can help to control this. Once dry the only way to deal with run off is by sanding. of course this will produce a rough finish. Smooth the finish by using Acetone solvent applied liberally with a q-tip. several attempts may be required. If the fiberglass cloth is exposed then another application of the epoxy resin will be required.

Fraycheck will likely work as well on organza as any other fabric, but it usually turns the fabric darker where the glue is applied, so if you're doing it in a visible spot, be careful. Also, once the glue hardens, the applied edge will be stiffer, another thing to take into account with a sheer fabric like organza. And if you only treat a narrow edge of it, watch out for two things: A. The glue may soak up higher than you anticipated in organza (since most fabrics are a lot thicker; I've noticed it tends to soak up quite high if I'm not careful with satin ribbon), and B. the organza may rip if pressure is applied above that edge (once the glue is dry), since organza is so sheer. Hope this helps.

I use this glue to put flat back rhinestones on painted plastic and they stick like cement. You should have no problem with paper.

In my own personal experience I find it works better if you wait until the paint has cured. I use decoart gloss enamels when I paint on glass.

This may be better for what you want.Val-A TG-16 Tear Mender Fabric and Leather AdhesiveI would give mine a try because of the price. I know it sticks any cloths together even plastic cloths of today. It works the best on everything I've ever tried.I hope that helps butno where on the bottle does it say "latex glue".good luck.

SUPER HIGH GLOSS. Dry erase boards kind of have to be. Honestly it was a complete disaster for me - glass works so much better. :)

If I was going with just one and was unsure which I would like more I would pick gloss. You can apply gloss and leave it be for a high gloss or you can always do a light sanding with a light grit sand paper or an all purpose scotch-brite hand pad/scrub pad and then use a polish to bring back some shine. So you can control the degree of shine some what with the gloss. Satin is kind of a one trick pony. As far as which looks better, that depends on the individual and the look they are going for. I personally like a gloss finish better than satin in most applications.

Depending on what you are using the ribbon for? If being used for material or a frame, glass vase or something similar, then I would hot glue them....but, I used the ribbon for the base of a cake covered in fondant and I had it stick to the cake by using Wilton Dab and Hold adhesive.....Hope this info helps!!!

I used wood glue. Both pieces need to be fully coated and heavily pressed and weighted. Maybe spray is better but I haven't tried that method. Hope this helps.
