Susan Pickering Rothamel, president of USArtquest and developer of PPA emailed me the following comments: <\/p>\n<div><font><\/font><font><\/font><font>&quot;If you use PPA as the &#39;decoupage&#39; or &#39;collage&#39; medium, then you do not need to use Varathane.&#0160; In fact, the PPA is a stronger and more water resistant, UV resistant medium, even producing less tack, then the Varathane itself.&#0160; If you want a shiny finish, use PPA gloss.&#0160; If you want a satin finish &#8211; mix PPA 1\/2 matte and 1\/2 gloss.&#0160; However, if you do want to use the Varathane anyway, understand that it will yellow over time.&#0160; PPA will not.&#0160;Also, if you choose the Varathane, even a PVA\/Elmers\/Mod Podge, etc. glue will lift, if it isn&#39;t REALLY nailed down.&#0160; <\/font><\/div>\n<div><font><\/font><font><\/font><font>&#0160;<\/font><\/div>\n<div><font><\/font><font><\/font><font>PPA is used often under Varathane by wood artisans and experimental artists. It is necessary to make sure the paper is glued under every teensy area, and even on top.&#0160; The paper should be fully encapsulated in PPA.&#0160; Then you must wait for it to dry thoroughly before adding any type or urethane product.&#0160;However, using the PPA as the finishing varnish needs no extra drying time. &#0160;Drying happens by &#39;curing&#39; rather then evaporation.&#0160; Therefore, the longer you wait, the more successful the piece will be.&#0160; Easily a day or two in between coats.&quot; She further gave these directions for adhering paper to a wood frame or plaque: &quot;<\/font><font>You apply PPA to the frame, then continue to use the PPA&#39;ed brush as you apply the paper, brushing even more adhesive over the top of the paper, smoothing it as you go.&#0160; For the absolute BEST success, spritz or dunk each piece of paper thoroughly in water before applying it to a frame (or any other surface.&#0160; This assures that every fiber is fully wetted, preventing unsightly buckling or bumps.&#0160; Make sure that every area though has adhesive under it, or you&#39;ll have bumps when the paper dries.&#0160; It is quite a simple process, and works everytime with the few tips I&#39;ve mentioned.&quot; Susan graciously permitted me to post this information on my blog.
