Hello and thank you for posting this video. I do you have a quick question I painted wood with chalk paint first then added a thin layer and put my napkin on and it looked perfect until I put a thin layer of Modge podge on top and it bubbled what did I do wrong. I did let it dry overnight before I put a coat on top

@OurUpcycledLife Жыл бұрын

I find when using mod podge as a topcoat if you put too much on it will bubble up. Are use a water-based poly acrylic sealer as my topcoat and only put on a very thin coat hope that helps
