What is Mod Podge used for?
Mod Podge is an all-in-one glue, sealer, and finish for craft projects like decoupage, scrapbooking, fabric crafts, and furniture refinishing. One product glues your material down, seals it, and gives it a finished topcoat, so you don't need three separate products.
Do you stock Mod Podge in Australia?
Are PVA glue and Mod Podge the same thing?
No. PVA glue is just an adhesive, it dries clear and flexible but has no sealing or finishing properties. Mod Podge does three jobs in one: it glues, seals, and finishes, and it comes in different finishes (gloss, matte, satin) depending on the look you want.
What are the different types of Mod Podge?
Beyond the classic Gloss, Matte, and Satin mediums, we stock specialty finishes for specific projects: Outdoor for anything that'll live outside, Fabric and Stiffy Fabric Stiffener for textile projects, Furniture Sealer for furniture refinishing, Photo Transfer Medium for transferring images onto surfaces, Puzzle Saver for finished jigsaws, and Extreme Glitter for extra sparkle.
How do I choose the right Mod Podge for my project?
It depends on what you're making and where it'll end up:
-
Paper crafts, decoupage, scrapbooking: Gloss or Matte Medium
-
Furniture: Furniture Sealer
-
Anything going outside: Outdoor finish
-
Fabric or textiles: Fabric finish or Stiffy Fabric Stiffener
-
Preserving photos: Photo Transfer Medium
-
Finishing a jigsaw puzzle: Puzzle Saver

Is Mod Podge safe to use?
The classic Mod Podge range carries the AP (non-toxic) seal, meaning it's certified safe for normal use, including for kids' craft projects. Specialty products like the spray sealers should be used in a well-ventilated area, always check the label on the specific product you've bought and follow its directions.
