Mod Podge or other decoupage stuff

Mod Podge or other decoupage stuff

2004-12-10 by welchmatt

My son's classroom wants to use some photos I took and will print on 
photo rag for a "decoupage" project.  Basically, they seal the photos 
using this stuff called "Mod Podge" onto something like a serving 
tray.  Makes kind of a "laquered in" look.

Anyway, my question is whether prints made with the EZ inks on a C86 
on 108 photo rag can reasonably be expected to not smear or run 
during the application of this mod podge stuff.  I don't have my inks 
yet, so I can run any experiments, and by the time I get the inks, 
time will be short.

Are there any sprays that'll "waterproof" the print for the few 
minutes it will be exposed to really wet mod podge?

Thanks.
Matt

Mod podge and other decoupage glues are essentially good old fashioned 
white glue, but thinned out more.  I would think that a good clear 
lacquer or photo protective spray would probably work well enough.
