FAQs

Can I use this on outdoor furniture?

It is not recommended for permanent outdoor use as moisture and sunlight may degrade the paper and adhesive over time.

Do I need a special glue?

While generic decoupage glues work, using an official Décopatch adhesive ensures the best chemical compatibility and finish.

Can I use this paper on glass?

Yes, it can be applied to glass, but ensure the glass is thoroughly cleaned with alcohol first to help the adhesive bond.

Is the foil effect prone to rubbing off?

The foil is high quality, but it should be protected with a thin layer of varnish to prevent wear during handling.

How many sheets are in the pack?

The pack contains four sheets total, two of which feature the foil effect.

Troubleshooting

Paper wrinkling during application

Use a softer brush to flatten the paper and ensure enough glue is applied underneath to keep the fibers supple.

Edges of the paper lifting after drying

Apply a small amount of extra glue under the edge and press down firmly, then re-seal with a layer of glue or varnish on top.

Air bubbles trapped under the paper

Gently prick the bubble with a needle and smooth outward with a brush to release trapped air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. You will need a standard Décopatch glue or a similar decoupage adhesive, a flat brush, and a finishing varnish.

  1. Surface Prep: Lightly sand rough wood surfaces if necessary to ensure a smooth base.
  2. Application: Apply glue directly to the surface area, position the paper, and apply a second layer of glue over the paper to seal it.
  3. Layering: Overlap pieces slightly to create a cohesive pattern.
  4. Finishing: Let the object dry for several hours before applying a final coat of protective varnish to ensure durability and water resistance.
  5. Care: Clean finished items with a soft, dry cloth; avoid soaking or abrasive cleaners.
