Does Modge Podge need to be sealed?

pierogigirl · November 2011

I am about to start my first decoupage project and the directions on the modge podge say it needs to be sealed, but later on they say it is a sealer. I am using it to affix scrapbook paper to wood blocks to make a Christmas countdown calendar, if that makes a difference in your answer.

Thanks!

No, it doesn't need to be sealed, but it might stay slightly "tacky" for a while so keep that in mind.

I have sealed the last two projects I did with modge podge so that it doesn't stick to other things. It really finishes the project

I apply acrylic sealer.

I've always used Mod Podge as a sealer without problems.

Maybe it means that if you use it to glue the paper to the wood (for instance), then you should also seal the whole thing after it dries?

I used Mod Podge to glue paper to wood wall letters, let it dry, then used it again as the top coat. I've never used another type of sealer.
