DÉCOPATCH Glue, Paper Glue & Varnish

DÉCOPATCH glue and varnish in one – for decoupage and paper crafts

DÉCOPATCH Glue, Paper Glue & Varnish from Exaclair is a water-based glue that also works as a varnish. You can use it to stick paper to glass, plastic, metal, polystyrene, wood, terracotta, iron and other surfaces, and seal it in the same step. This is handy for decoupage, napkin and paper crafts, because you only need one product.

The glue dries clear and leaves a smooth finish, so your motifs stay clearly visible. One coat is dry after about 10 minutes. The glue is available in several sizes. Choose the size from the options.

Sticking and sealing

The surface should be clean, dry and free from grease. Wipe smooth surfaces such as glass or metal briefly with a cloth first. The glue can go straight onto bare wood, and painted surfaces must be dry.

• Brush a thin layer of glue onto the surface with a soft, flat brush.
• Lay the paper on and smooth it from the centre outwards so that no air bubbles remain.
• Brush another coat of glue over the paper. This seals the surface.
• Leave to dry and apply a second coat if needed.

Tips for a neat result

Thin papers such as napkins wrinkle easily if you use too much glue. Apply it thinly and work quickly. For soft transitions between pieces of paper, tear the paper rather than cutting it. As the glue is water-based, rinse the brush out with water after use, before the glue dries on.
