1. Make sure you painting is completely dry, do a test first on an old painting, or do a mock painting let it dry and apply it, the important thing is to make sure your painting is dry, let it sit for a day at least, if it's acrylics. That also goes for Oil Paintings, but wait several weeks for oils to dry..
2. If you are painting in oils you are better not to use mod podge, a Gloss Varnish would be better..
3. Apply the mod podge but make sure there are no streaks, or to much mod podge in one area, you have to brush over it several time s to make sure it don't get cloudy...if you want 2 coats, make sure the first coat is dry..
