yogi1301 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I was just wondering if anyone uses Mod Podge in their houses? I'm a newbie and I want to use what is on hand in my home incase this hobby doesn't work out for me. I've used it before to seal wood before painting so I know that it's useful for that application, but will it be detrimental to my dollhouse later on?

minifan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have used it for gluing wallpaper...that was a HUGE/GIGANTIC mistake for me...ONLY BECAUSE...I later changed my mind about the wallpaper...and Mod-Podge is not waterbased...so it didn't come down...at all... I recently used Mod-Podge to seal some things that I have for my 1/2 scale Bungalow...so far, so good...but long term? I don't know that yet... I did choose Mod-Podge over spray sealers, because every spray sealer that I have found has a warning saying "this contains a product that the state of California says causes cancer"...something to that effect...so I figured that if it causes cancer in California, it will cause cancer in Massachusetts, (where I live... :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I use it for lots of dollhouse stuff. Love mod podge. Obviously not to put a house together...but I have used it for sealing wood and wallpaper,etc.,etc. The best glue to have on hand for building is Aleens Tacky Glue and a good wood glue. With those 3 glues you can do anything dollhouse related...in my opinion:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLyn M. Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I too love Mod-Podge...and I have used it to glue a very small house together.Mostly cause I ran out of my usual Elmer's Wood Glue.But I use MP for sealer,wallpaper, and I'm decoupaging a whole house exterior so yes, I use it a lot!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmatson Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I love Mod Podge. I use it to protect everything I paint. It's great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyole Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I was using mod podge a lot and then one day the surface that I had used it on seemed a little tacky. Before that I had never had a problem. I don't think it was due to humidity, but I could be wrong about that. Since then, I haven't used it as much - I found a brush on bottle of something else, but still prefer the mod podge, just worry about the tackiness.

I had the same problem with tackiness when I used glossy mod podge to coat the surface of some granite counter tops I printed out. I've used it before for floors with no problem, but for some reason the counters came out sticky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi1301 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks for all the input! I'm still impatiently awaiting my kit to arrive in the mail but I'm getting my glue and sandpapers and other goodies together so I can start building as soon as it arrives.
