what type of glue can i cover a collage with to make it look older?
i was in a bar in Atlantic city…Adam good sports bar
and in the bathroom was a collage of surf picture but they were covered in like a brownish yellow glue to make it look more antique…how do i achieve this look
It may have been a number of clear-finish substances which had been tinted a brownish color (as the final coat, or perhaps for all the coats)… here are a few possibilties:
…a clear polyurethane, or an “acrylic medium,” etc, tinted with brown acrylic paint
…a permanent white glue like Elmers GlueAll (thinned 3 or 4 to 1 with water) –or a “decoupage medium” like ModPodge which is the same thing– tinted with brown acrylic paint
…a clear epoxy resin, tinted with brown oil paint (the kind in tubes that artists use)… epoxy resin will also naturally yellow with exposure to too much ultraviolet though if it’s not covered with a UV resistant polyurethane, etc., so that alone could have caused it to look “old”
