I have used Mod Podge for years. I still use a china vase that I Mod Podged a Japanese napkin on at least 20 years ago! I also use Mod Podge Fabric Stiffener to stiffen up cheesecloth so I can punch out and die cut flowers and other shapes. Great product.
Love this stuff and use it often, especially with decorative napkins.
When I have tried to use Mod Podge matte as sealer over scrapbooking paper it remained sticky even after several months. How can I avoid this as I do like Mod Podge.

Hi Tracy! Hmmm I’ve never heard that before. Normally it dries very quickly and the final cure in just a couple of weeks. I wonder what could have happened with that bottle? Anyone?
