Hi – I am trying to marouflage, collage..or whatever you want to call it…paper to glass as part of a verre eglomise project. So, I want to adhere the paper to the reverse side of the glass, to be seen through the front. Does that make sense?
Anyway – I am having difficulty finding something that collages neatly, clearly and is compatible with anything else I might do on the glass (although the paper will be sealed with japan paints once dry.
I’ve tried clear shellac but it leaves slight bubbles.
Thanks so much – Tuta

Have you tried just plain old Mod Podge, or a equal mixture of white glue & water? I’ve been able to do that with success, but it wasn’t with imagery.
Happy creating,
gingerFebruary 18, 2013 at 8:38 am #1181821Hi…I do collage on glass…and yup…Leslie is right….use a very weak mixture of white glue and water…..I just found an unfinished piece that has been tucked away for 8 years….still secure and no yellowing!!!! Now…I had better finish that one of these centuries…..:lol: Good luck! Post pics

My WebFebruary 18, 2013 at 9:43 am #1181820Thanks, you guys! I did try Mod-Podge but the adhesion wasn’t uniform. BUT – I didn’t dilute with water so will try it again. And white glue and water, too..will try that.
The shellac does work after all! My impatience gets the better of me…when I checked it this morning it was collaged perfectly – no bubbles or blank spots. I will still try the mod-podge and glue again – can’t hurt to have other methods available.
