Do you know ceramics and porcelain? Which bottle of craft goop am I looking for?

Years ago, as a child, I remember my parents making decorative craft flowers using silk flowers, standard, store bought variety, acrylic paints and some kind of "craft goop".



They would paint the craft goop on the petals of the silk flower, sometimes mixed with acrylic and sometimes they would put it on plain and then the acrylic after. It went on milky, like elmers glue ... but turned clear as it dried. It left the petals of the silk flowers firm and shiny, kind of like porcelaine or ceramic.



I thought it was ceramic glaze all this time but my mom swears it was more like Modge Podge only she's pretty sure it wasn't actually Modge Podge just something similar.



She's pretty sure it's not a floating medium, she swears it had the word "porcelain" in the name but can't actually remember the name and I was very very young.



I know it's a long shot but does anything sound femiliar on this subject? I want to these flowers for my b/f's daughter to give her mom for mothers day.

You can use white wood glue (It's called aquadhere in Australia, not sure where you are from) and water it down a little if it is too thick, or put acrylic paint in it to colour it. Works as well as the porcelain petals.
Reply:I think what you were looking for was called "Modge Podge". It was milky white like Elmers glue but dried clear. We used it on fabric or paper to stiffen and preserve items. I think they still sell this at places like Hobby Lobby. Report It
Reply:it was called porcelain petals but it wasnt porcelian or ceramics of any kind, you might check michaels arts and crafts but i think it went out of fashion ages ago.
