It's "dimensional adhesive", so you can glaze something, but also include something like a small bead. It is also mixable, so you can color it. Thus making orange "faux enamel".<br /><br />Have fun!<br />AmyAmyhttp://gracefulstudio.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-47156263270059597392011-04-05T23:02:44.429-05:002011-04-05T23:02:44.429-05:00You seriously c-r-a-c-k me up!You seriously c-r-a-c-k me up!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044419009989986186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-49435281253112854532011-04-04T20:37:16.378-05:002011-04-04T20:37:16.378-05:00This looks great --went out and bought Demensional...This looks great --went out and bought Demensional Magic today.

I think you've solved my dilemma. The next time I see an attractive leather board, I'll buy it. Then I'll make a fun set of pieces. I like the map idea. Maybe I'll use an old map for the "browns" and white for the other. I need to hodge podge the tops to make them shiny. I'll have to think about what I'll put on the bottoms to make them smooth like plastic chips would be.<br /><br />Thanks for solving my "problem!"Me, Myself, and Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501431551747022315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-81956398500630667712011-03-31T15:54:33.040-05:002011-03-31T15:54:33.040-05:00Stephanie, it's not sticky, but I haven't ...Stephanie, it's not sticky, but I haven't tested to see if it's waterproof. There's probably something better --and way cheaper-- you can use for a table. Check out your local hardware store. A friend once poured some liquid stuff all over her little table and it came out like glass. Nifty, but I don't know what it was. Definitely something in a can, not a tiny bottle, though.Jessica Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111703670084066670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-13115430497070593532011-03-31T15:51:41.690-05:002011-03-31T15:51:41.690-05:00Fascinating!Fascinating!Jessica Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111703670084066670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-40604670981661988162011-03-31T15:32:18.467-05:002011-03-31T15:32:18.467-05:00Jess, I think Mod Podge is messing with us, becaus...Jess, I think Mod Podge is messing with us, because I went to check my bottle, and the very first words on the back of mine are "DO NOT SHAKE (causes bubbles)."

I think it may have been on Plaid's website, but the link isn't working because the site is being redesigned, apparently. But no, don't shake it. Hold it at about a 45-degree angle and just pour slowly and smoothly. With practice, no bubbles, but you can use a pin to pop any that show up.<br /><br />I love Mod Podge. :-)amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-32034739847634489992011-03-31T03:06:46.109-05:002011-03-31T03:06:46.109-05:00I love this idea - I'm looking at everything w...I love this idea - I'm looking at everything with new eyes to see if it would look good glazed!Peony and Thistlehttp://www.facebook.com/PeonyandThistlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-69324574978175618052011-03-30T21:07:30.390-05:002011-03-30T21:07:30.390-05:00I've used Mod Podge before but haven't tri...I've used Mod Podge before but haven't tried the dimensional one yet.

So it kinda IS magic!<br /><br />One tip: don't shake the bottle, just turn it over and lightly tap it.<br /><br />Ashley, you could do that, but it would be expensive. There's also no UV protection so you should probably spray the artwork with a UV spray before the coating. Good luck!<br /><br />Jess, thanks for mentioning me.
