Using the wrong mod podge for a halloween decoration.

What do I do now? I was hoping to stiffen some fabric on a cardboard figure and the sewing lady said there was mod podge for fabric. I was in a hurry and I grabbed the first one that said, "fabric" and only later realized it was the photo transfer mod podge. Now I'm just hoping that tomorrow I can reapply the right mod podge without too much concern.

Anyone have experience using the photo transfer mod podge? What's the worse that can happen?

The good news is that it dries to a gloss finish, which is what I wanted it to do. Baitball Blogger Oct 2021 #6

All it is is glue and water and then later you appl some sort of gloss finish to it.

Look it up under "make mod podge" and you'll get some recipes.

is do a search under "mod podge label photo transfer" and "mod podge label." Compare the ingredients of the two and that should tell you if you can just use what you have.

At least you have your decorations. I love Halloween and have some excellent decorations. But I can't find them!!

I always keep them in the same place but the RG cleaned out the basement and if he threw them out, I will.... (better not say).

I cleaned out the outside closet and turned it into a decorations closet. Sadly, everything has been stored there since Covid. I'm just updoing the decoration I made last year.
