Review on Create Unique Craft Projects With Mod Podge Ultra Matte (8 Ounce) by Unique Mayeaux

I tried this out for the first time yesterday; refined how I use it today. I've used other Mod Podge products, but was looking for a sealer that wouldn't leave brush marks on my items. I use card stock to decorate unfinished wooden boxes. Regular Satin Mod Podge looks very nice as a sealer, but it's impossible to not leave some brush strokes in it, even when I use a sponge applicator, because it's pretty thick. This Mod Podge Ultra Gloss is thin, almost watery. I tried it on several boxes that I made that were still unsealed. I tried it with a Taklon brush and also a standard, cheap little sponge applicator. Both worked well, but I liked the sponge applicator best; it gave me better control.I found out it's important to use very little at a time; MUCH better to have thin coats. If you put too much down, it can pool and look funny when it dries. I dip the tip of the applicator into the liquid and then press it against the side of the bowl to get rid of the excess liquid. Then I just brush it onto the paper that has been glued (and thoroughly dried) onto the wooden box. I go around the edges and just brush it all over the surface to spread it out. I work quickly because it dries fast. As my final step, I make even, light, parallel strokes, going from one side to the other to smooth it out nicely. It's very important to use just a little and work quickly. Then I just put the item aside to dry. It dries in just a few minutes.The first coat seals nicely and has a matte finish; barely noticeable. The second coat adds a nice little sheen to the surface. The third coat adds a distinctly glossy look. So I can use it to achieve whichever effect I want on my finished product. Another nice feature of this product is that it makes the colors of my card stock look more vivid; they really pop! I'm glad I discovered this product and will continue using it on my decorated boxes.
