I'm new to mod podge with this being my 1st project. I did lots of research and watched videos. My project was to mod podge a photo to wood. It looked easy enough. My problem is it doesn't seem to drying clear like it should.
I wanted my wood painted so I painted it using folkart paint. 1 coat only set to dry for 4 hours. Then I applied a thin coat of mod podge. It dried 24 hrs. Next step I did was print my pictures on my ink jet printer, then added 3 coats of acrylic sealer to them with 15 minutes drying time in between coats. Then over all dry time 1 hour in the sun. Next came the fun part. I applied a even coat of mod podge gloss-lustre to the picture then applied it to the wood. I used my fingers to press it down, then a credit card to smooth out the bubbles. It has been drying for 23 hours now, but it isn't getting clear. What did I do wrong? I did get some pod podge on the top of the pictures. Is that my problem. I want to wet them and start to rub off the paper, but I'm not sure if it is dry enough. Any hint or tips?
