Question:
Hi, I have been using chipboard without a wax coating and permanent acid free adhesive.
I want to add a matte coating over my letters and projects due to the paper getting bumped or nicked up.
As a protective layer what archival product can I use to spray or brush on my embellishments to get a matte finish? I don’t like modge podge, even the new stuff leaves a tackyness to my embellishments even when I leave the layers dry for 24 hours.
Answer: My favorite matte finish protector is actually a spray-on coating from Krylon. I use it on paper, chipboard, or wood. It definitely has a matte finish and protects it against wear and tear. If you don’t purchase it here, I would look for a finishing spray in the craft aisle of your local store. Most stores that I know of do carry the Krylon brand, but really any clear finish that specifically says “matte” is what you want.
