Bubbled mod podge
« on: February 17, 2012, 04:38:51 PM »
Ok so I stuffed up here an didnt water down the mod podge, got abit carried away without reading here that you have to water it down. So now i have bubbles. is there any way to remove the bubbles or do something to it so its not completely ruined? I tried a little acetone on a cotton tip, which did alittle good, but some of the tip is now stuck in the paint, an some of the paint is coming off. So what do I do?
this learning the hard way sucks. You guys are so awesome for all your help and understanding for people that are starting out, so thanks in advance for any input.

Update, So ive done the acetone thing to remove the large bubbles, and have now repainted it all. Am fairly happy its not completely ruined. However wanna make certain not to get bubbles again.
so any input would be great, to seal with mod podge, how watery do you make it? do you still apply with brush or sponge best? and are there bubbles on it before it dries when its watered down?
Bit scared now.. how many layers does it need to be sealed?
thanks for any advice

When I use Modge Podge, I water mine down until it's the same consistency as milk, and then brush it on.  It does look a bit milky when it's wet, but it dries clear. :)

I actually didnt water it down on my first 2 dragons ponies, one is my pic there, and I didnt have any issues with it, so not really sure why, but I guess I was just lucky! Never again will I risk it tho!!

It won't mention it on the bottle.  It does seem to help to water it down, but I apply it thinly b/c it has a tendency to run and drip when it is thinner.
