excelent, what kind of glue is transparent?

[tlcinspirations]

@shabadavanity The glue I used in this video was Modge Podge, which I also used as a sealant over the paper. It's a white glue that dries clear, easy to work with. I used a matte finish Modge Podge, as opposed to a glossy. Personal preference. You might also be able to get away with using a white (elmer's) glue, but it doesn't dry perfectly clear and works best with porous surfaces (which a bottlecap is not). Hope this helps!

Question : Do you use the card stock paper underneath so the caps inner ring imprint doesnt show thru?

[tlcinspirations]

@donimoX Yes, I do use card stock instead of regular paper. You're right, I don't think regular paper would hold up over the inner rings on some caps.

@tlcinspirations , thanx, BTW of all the videos on this yours was the best looking final product and easy to follow instructions!

[tlcinspirations]

@donimoX Thank you so much! This was actually my first video tutorial, so that means a lot to me. :)

Very informative video! thank you!

@sugerray7 I can't be of much help with this question, as I've never used Modge Podge spray. I didn't know it came in a spray! It seems that it would be awfully hard to control coverage in a spray, but it might be worth a try. If you DO try it, please come back and let me know how it turns out!

@sugerray7 Please see my answer to this question below, in response to @kmilguard :)

@sugerray7 I can't speak for other craft glues, but I use Modge Podge with a matte finish, so it's not a glossy or shiny, but it is definitely clear. You will notice that it shows slight brush/sponge lines on the surface even after it dries, but I actually like that. On some projects, I brush it on vertically, let it dry, then do the second coat horizontally to create a hash-mark effect. It's pretty cool. Anyway, good luck with your project!
