ARTEZADecoupage Glue Refill Kit, 1 Gloss- and 1 Matte-Finish Glue, 16-oz Bottles, 3 Foam Brushes, 3 Pairs of Gloves, Art Supplies for Decoupaging on Glass and Furniture, with Fabric and Tissue Paper

I ordered this Arteza Decoupage Glue Refill Set to use after my first, original set. I go through a lot because I create many mixed media art pieces to exhibit. Plus I enjoy using decoupage in art journaling and my art and art therapy workshops for all ages I conduct- I find i can use a medium, or in this case, gloss or matte decoupage glue, to both adhere and cover ephemera, etc.I think this is a great deal, since these are mondo-sized bottles. So it's a really good value.- I like the Arteza brand generally, since the stuff I've bought with cold hard cash in the past was high quality.- I'll show you the pictures of the nicely- decorated, reclosable, heavy cardboard box, etc.- I'm not sure what the wrinkled blue gloves are made of, or if I'll be able to wear them, because if they have latex, that's a no-no for my skin allergies. ,But otherwise, they do have gloves.- They also have three really standard, yet handy and useable, foam brushes of different sizes. I showed you a photo of them in my regular, woman-size hand so you can see their sizes. this is considered one of their "classic" items, versus premium or pro.- It's designed in the USA (I don't know if that means the stuff it's made out of also?)- Hmmn. Just realized I dunno whether it's acid-free or not, at the moment.- it's manufactured in China.- one big bottle of gloss and one matte- Don't forget ilike me, 😂: If you try to just open the lid and start pouring, it won't work because it comes with this really cool, protective black cap on the inside that you can press back in again after you're done creating, to help keep it from drying up.I'm excited to play with these, along with the original set I ordered. Hope this helps. I'll come back with a photo of my next creation using it. Happy arting all!

I love using decoupage glue for a lot of different projects. One of my favorite projects is putting printed pictures on canvas! First print your picture and use the decoupage glue to glue it your canvas. After it dries you put multiple coats of decoupage on your picture. The last coat will become the texture on your picture. On the picture I've included here, I placed cheese cloth down on the went decoupage, pressed it down and then gently lifted it off. I took the included picture with a reflection on it so you could see the finish. The cheese cloth makes a very nice finish. Some pictures I've just finished with the brush stokes in one direction and in some I've finished with brush stokes in one direction and then the other. I think these pictures on canvas are about as good as the ones you send off and pay lots on money to have them put on canvas. This is just one of the many decoupage projects that I do. I love working with decoupage.And, let me say, Arteza has GREAT customer service. When I received this kit it came in a box from amazon with multiple boxes in the one big box. One decoupage bottle had the cap torn off. The bottle was still sealed, but, I couldn't use the cap. So I emailed Arteza asking if they could send me a cap to replace the broken one. They immediately responded that they would replace the entire kit. This is what I call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Thank you Arteza!!!

While this kit won't replace higher quality mediums if you want to use paint or other media on top of your decoupage layer, for simple decoupage, this kit is great. If you want to keep your decoupaged work and keep it from yellowing over the years, you will need a varnish layer on top of this glue. But for practice work and for kids, this is great.

I love this Arteza decoupage kit. I know it says this is the “refill” kit, but if there is some main kit that’s somehow even better than this “refill”, then I’m just stunned because the refill is AWESOME!!!This refill kit has everything you could want, if we’re going to be 100% real about this (which we are). You get two large bottles of decoupage glue, one matte finish and one gloss. These are not only big bottles, but they also have the fine tip dispensing nozzle. This was my first time using the Arteza decoupage glue medium, but I like both the matte and the gloss finish. I am naturally more of a fan of matte finish anyway, so I favor that in other brands of decoupage medium as well, and I also favor the matte finish in the Arteza decoupage as well, but the gloss is quite nice and it’s true to a gloss finish. The kit includes three sponge brushes. These are very basic sponge brushes. There are also three sets of gloves. I never use gloves while doing decoupage, primarily because I nearly always use paper, and I can’t feel the paper well enough through gloves to get the most precise placement. So the gloves are a nice extra.This kit is really wonderful, and of course it is a great value for anyone who loves decoupage, but most especially if you already do decoupage with Arteza decoupage glues. I am excited to have found Arteza supplies and hope to explore more. Highly recommend.
