Great video - thank you very much! I've never done that before, so I wonder: where is the varnish in your version? Already included in the Mod Podge?

In the mod podge yeah! Thanks ☺️

@ladonnamontalto917 Жыл бұрын

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! How long would you say this takes to dry? I found Mod Podge Ultra spray in my craft store and the dry time was 4+ hours 😮

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

Heya yeah that sounds about right. Homemade stuff takes about that too. Thing is it’s highly watered down which slows the drying process.

Lovely! I've tried commercial sealant from WS but it didn't really work for keeping foliage stuck to my trees. So then I switched to spray glue from Noch, which works like a charm but leaves the trees tacky all over, which isn't all that nice. So this homemade recipe is what I'm trying next! And if it doesn't work for the trees, I'll just use it for my next project which will be my first game board. One question though: I always see you double spraying first with IPA and then with the sealant. Why not replace some of the water in this recipe with IPA instead? Will it mess up the glue in the Mod Podge?

@dicedrinksanddadjokes 2 ай бұрын

Hey there! Adding iso to mod podge makes it go weird and goopy. The iso spray first simply breaks surface tension which is also what the drops of detergent does. Good luck!

@honestly8015 8 ай бұрын

Hi and thank you for the tip. My question is whether you find the spray tip clogs up between uses? How do you avoid the glue sealing the sprayer pieces? Thanks, Diane

@dicedrinksanddadjokes 8 ай бұрын

Yeah nozzle clogging can be an issue. Should be fine though so long as you thoroughly rinse and flush with water after use. Easy enough to do. I just stick the hose into a container of water and pump the spray until it shoots out clear water only.

@Timmie17 Жыл бұрын

Another great video mate. Question: I've always found that when putting the mix into a spray bottle, with the exact same dilution, I still get a hard straight stream from the bottle, and not really a mist or spray. Have not found a way to fix this yet. Any ideas?

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

Have you checked the nozzle? On those spray bottles the nozzle usually screws to adjust the spray. Try screwing it in a bit and see what happens.

@Timmie17 Жыл бұрын

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes yea tried that as well. With several spray bottles

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

That's pretty odd mate, not sure why that would happen 🤷‍♂️ Sorry I can't be of any help to you with that one? Keep trying different ratios maybe, flush the spray bottle out thoroughly with fresh water.... good luck!

@Timmie17 Жыл бұрын

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes no worries mate, just gonna keep on trying. It’s not like it doesn’t work completely. A mist just would be better.

@JuusoHuttunenOfficial Жыл бұрын

First make sure the spray bottle has proper mist nozzle, and proper pump mechanism. Not all spray bottles seem to do the trick. Second you get it if you let it dry in the spray bottle, as the glue will dry in there. Or if you have slightly bigger glue lumps in there to block the spray nuzzle. I always wash / rinse the spray bottles pump/nozzle part after usage, so the glue will not have time to dry even a bit in there.

@SquidChild 2 жыл бұрын

I've made similar stuff, but it always seems to get clogged in the nozzle/sprayer. How do you keep it from doing that?

@dicedrinksanddadjokes 2 жыл бұрын

I unscrew the sprayer, dip the hose in fresh water then spray till only water come through. It doesn't take long and I've had no problems yet.

@richardl8892 Жыл бұрын

I've seen other videos using spray sealants that you need to wash the nozzle through with soapy water after each use, I assume the same applies to this?

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

Yeah you definitely need to wash the nozzle after each use otherwise to avoid clogging 😊

You would probably have to add some matte varnish in with it in that case.

@Abominus69 Жыл бұрын

Hi, you mention that commercial ones include varnish, but in your recipe you don't include any. Not really needed then?

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

Mod podge is a mix of PVA and varnish so it’s included 😊

@TIS181 Жыл бұрын

So with no mod podge around, what would be the ratio, if you mix pva glue, matt varnish (airbrushready) and water? 1:1:6 and dish washer of course. or more matt varnish and less water, because airbrush varnish is thinned down already?

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

I’m not sure buddy. I’ve never tried mixing my own mod podge substitute before. I would suggest going with your ratio in a small amount and test it out on something small. Wait until it sets completely and check the result. Hope this helps 😊

Ok that’s no good, sorry to hear about that. Are you spraying it too close maybe? Either way save it because you can always use what you’ve made and apply it with an eye dropper for bigger debris and rocks etc. Its also great for sealing miniature bases. Best of luck man!
