ExplainerCan you use glue as paint?
Paint works well for gluing fabric and paper to each other and to porus materials like wood. If you need a stronger bond, you can add more binder (glue) to the paint. This would be acrylic medium, or if your are cheap, PVA or similar glue.

ExplainerCan you use Mod Podge to crackle paint?
The Mod Podge method doesn't work as well on an already painted surface (it does work, just not as well), so you have to not mind if your cracks are the color of your underlying material. If you do mind, you can always run an ink pad over your finished surface to color the cracks.

ExplainerHow do you make acrylic paint crackle?
Apply a top coat of flat latex or acrylic paint.
Brush one coat only of flat latex or acrylic paint over the crackle medium or glue. Brush your top coat on lightly to get thin cracks and brush on a heavy coat to get large cracks. Use a spouncer brush to sponge-paint the top coat if you want spider web-like cracks.

ExplainerWhat causes paint to crackle?
Painted walls that take on a bubbly appearance are the result of a loss of adhesion between the paint and the underlying surface of the wall. The lack of adhesion is usually caused by moisture, heat, or a combination of the two. Exposing latex paint to moisture immediately after it has dried.

Regular Elmer's or Wood Glue will work. This is the only technique I use to make crackle paint, it works every time without fail. My favorite way to do it is with chalk paint.

ExplainerWhat else can I use instead of Mod Podge?
Regular Mod Podge is just PVA glue (also known as permanent white glue, craft glue, book binding glue, etc) thinned with water (enough to make it thin enough to be able to be applied thinly or it won't dry clear, but never more than 50% and usually more like 3 or 4 to 1 depending on original thickness of the glue).
Kewal Taffin
ExplainerWhat is the difference between Elmer's glue and Mod Podge?
The short answer to Mod Podge vs glue is that when it comes to decoupage projects, Mod Podge or other decoupage mediums are far superior to white glue recipes. Decoupage mediums have more ingredients than ordinary white glue, including sealers and different varnishes, making them better for long lasting projects.

ExplainerDoes Mod Podge yellow over time?
Yes, it does yellow over time. But it takes a long time, and it's very slight. I've had things for years that are not yellow. Good luck Mod Podging!

ExplainerCan I use Elmer's glue instead of Mod Podge?
The glue mixture did work well. The verdict: you can use Elmer's Glue to decoupage. The finish seems less shiny than Mod Podge, but I like it. A spray of clear laquer will help protect it, but you'll still want to keep it out of the weather.

ExplainerIs Mod Podge the same as glue?
That's: Homemade Mod Podge is PVA glue with water in it. But people are paying heaps for this crafting Must Have, to do things like decoupage and scrapbooking, that people have done for years with watered down PVA. PVA is also known as Elmer's glue or woodowrking glue or simply white crafting glue.
Arshad Benhadi
ExplainerIs Mod Podge better than PVA?
Mod Podge is stronger for longer and it really does go a log way, so is not as expensive as it looks. PVA dries quicker and is less tacky imo=Mod Podge seems to be tacky forever. Mod podge is a brand, where as Pva is an generic glue and can be made by many brands. Pva will always be cheaper, but is also not as refined.

ExplainerWhat happens when you mix glue and water?
Mixing glue and water results in thinned glue, which has many applications, such as a sealant or for papier-mâché. Water will also recover Elmer's glue that has thickened over time. Think about the glue's thickness in terms of the ratio of water to glue.

ExplainerWhat paint to use for shabby chic effect?
If it's varnished, use sandpaper or a good quality paint and varnish remover. Apply a coat of water-based acrylic primer – This simply gives your furniture a smoother finish, making it easier to work on. Because it's a shabby chic project, you don't need to be neat. Even if you're rubbish at painting, you'll be fine.

ExplainerWhat is crackle medium?
Crackle medium is a specialty product that causes paint applied over it to crack, resulting in a finish that looks aged and distressed. The more different the base coat and top coat paint colors are, the more dramatic the crackled effect, as it will be more visible than when using two similar colors.

ExplainerWhat glue works on acrylic paint?
Delrin (a type of Nylon) and Acetal can be bonded with acrylic using Loctite Epoxy or Bondit. However, the joins will generally be weaker than with other types of plastic. Never use superglue to bond two pieces of acrylic: the chemicals in the glue can cause the acrylic to turn white.
