Does Mod Podge dry clear?

Let me give you the short answer to the question “does Mod Podge dry clear?”: YES! Mod Podge looks milky in the bottle, but when applied properly, it dries completely clear.

What if my Mod Podge didn’t dry clear?

Here are a few scenarios in which your Mod Podge may not dry clear! See if any of these scenarios fit your situation:

You applied the Podge too thickly.

Mod Podge is best applied with several thin layers, with dry time in between each layer. And I TOTALLY get that it’s hard to wait because I’m not a patient person by nature. However, it’s best for project success! Trust me.

You applied Mod Podge layers over Mod Podge layers before it fully dried

This is related to the one above, but sometimes instead of clumping and a thick layer of decoupage, several thin layers are applied within minutes of each other. Again – wait the 15 – 20 minutes recommended. Trust me!

You applied the Mod Podge inside a small vessel

This happened to me once when I added decoupage to the inside of a very small mouth glass jar. It took days and it still wasn’t dry!

I hope this helps “clear” a few things up for you? Haha!
