Mod Podge Finishes and Formulas FAQ

Mod Podge covered items are basically for decorative use and Mod Podge should be used for dry items only. However, if you place a paper doily on your decoupaged surface before placing the food, you can serve from your project.
Yes, we suggest that you wait 72 hours and then wash in a mild soap such as Ivory Snow and line dry. Do not use a heavy detergent or Woolite. Items may be handwashed as well.
For an ultra smooth surface, apply 4 to 5 coats of Mod Podge Hard Coat. When applying the coats, brush in one direction then the other and let dry between coats. Wet sand with #400 sandpaper and water. Sand finish lightly until ridges are flat and smooth. Wipe dry. If desired add an additional coat of Hard Coat Mod Podge.
A light background works best. If you have a surface that is fairly dark, basecoat it first with your choice of FolkArt Outdoor Acrylics.

  1. Cut the design out of the Napkin, separate the layers and discard the two bottom white layers.

  2. Using the Glue Brush, apply a coat of Outdoor Mod Podge® over the design, allowing 15 – 30 minutes between coats. Let project dry inside at least 3 – 7 days before placing outdoors.

NOTE:Reapplication of Outdoor Mod Podge very several months will help preserve your project.
