Re: new.. helmet from u of m (michigan)

[Guest guest]

I did my son's first paint job as Cars (he's Jake W. if that's the

one you saw). They're just regular stickers from s and Target

(I used two different kinds). Mod podge is just a protective

coating, it's kind of like glue, it starts out white, but then it

dries clear. It's original use, I believe, was for decopage and

saving puzzles (it holds them together so you can frame them). At

's, if you're facing the acrylic paints, turn around and it

should be right there behind you. I started out with the Gloss

finish, but it's kind of shiny for a boy. Now I use Matte finish and

it's just shiny enough.
