Mineejv Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I’ve heard some talk about a spray that you put on the wallpaper after you put it up... what is it? And what does it do?... I’m using corrugated cardboard for my siding, I’ve already Mod podge both sides with many coats. I don’t know if’s it’s something that I could spray on after I get it hung... It’s sealed good it’s flexible... (I have some fabric stiffener does anybody know if that’ll work on cardboard?) (((I know I should do a test piece))) I’m happy with how it’s coming out....

KatFord Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Joanne, I can't answer your question, but I can't wait to see the siding when it's done. Great idea using corrugated cardboard! I wouldn't have thought of doing that. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 If your cardboard is painted, or going to be, that will seal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genemini Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Not sure about spraying wallpaper after it is hung. In Barbara Warner’s book, “The ABC’s of Dollhouse Finishing” she advises using a clear spray matte acrylic. She suggests spraying front and back with several coats. I have followed her advice on all my wallpaper. I use Krylon. It is completely invisible and doesn’t change the wallpaper’s appearance. One of my dollhouses is over twenty years old and the wallpaper looks brand new. Whether this would solve your problem I don’t know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineejv Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 I’ve put three coats of mod podge front and back and then I primed the front with white paint and then I did 2 to 3 coats of paint... I still think,I want to put some type of finish on.... ( something to make it a little stronger). I’m going to try (again & again) to take a picture and put it in my gallery... every time I try it tells me to resize , I resize my picture and it still tells me to resize???? Thanks for the help....
