Acrylic varnish is a perfect choice to seal an acrylic painting because it provides a professional finish after sealing the painting. On the other hand, Mod Podge is a cheaper way to seal the acrylic painting so it may not provide you with the even and professional result as the acrylic varnish provides.

What is Modge Podge?
Modge Podge is a substance used to seal and protect surfaces from damage. It is often used to decoupage, or glue paper or fabric onto surfaces. It can be bought in different finishes, including glossy, matte, and glitter. Modge Podge can also be used to seal acrylic paint.
Modge podge is a type of glue that is used to attach two or more pieces of material together. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, such as wood, metal, and glass. Modge podge is available in both a liquid and a paste form, and it can be bought at most craft stores.
Mod Podge is a decoupage medium. It is a glue, sealer, and finish designed for craft and art projects. Like acrylic paint, it has a formula with several ingredients. It is not watered down school glue (I’ve seen it being made!). It’s also non-toxic, waterbased, and made in the USA.
What is Acrylic Paint?
Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic resin. Acrylic paints are water-soluble, but become water- resistant when dry.
Most acrylic paints are not archival and will yellow and crack over time. However, there are some brands that offer archival-quality acrylic paints. These colors are more expensive but will last longer without fading or cracking.
Fast-drying acrylic paint is created by mixing pigment with plasticizers, silicone oils, defoamers, stabilisers, and metal soaps. The majority of acrylic paints are water-based, however once dried, they become water-resistant. The final acrylic painting can resemble a watercolour, gouache, or oil painting depending on how much the paint is diluted with water or altered with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes. It can also have its own distinctive qualities that cannot be achieved with other media.
Due to the fact that latex is the technical name for a suspension of polymer microparticles in water, water-based acrylic paints are utilised as latex house paints. Binder, filler, pigment, and water are frequently used in interior latex house paints.
Can You Use Modge Podge to Seal Acrylic Paint?
Yes, you can use Modge Podge to seal acrylic paint. However, it is important to note thatModge Podge is not a waterproof sealer, so if you are using it outdoors or in a humid environment, it is best to apply a clear coat of polyurethane over the top of the Modge Podge to protect your work.
If you’re looking for a sealant for your acrylic paint that is both durable and flexible, then Modge Podge is a great option! This all-in-one decoupage glue can be used to protect paintings, photos, fabrics, and more. It’s easy to use, simply brush it on top of your dried project. You can even add a layer of varnish on top of the Modge Podge for extra protection.
