Default Modge Podge again (strokes)

I think I'm finally mastering the art of mod podge.
But here is my question... Is there a way to apply a sealing coat without end with the brushing stokes?

Even with a foam brush I still get brush strokes. I recently tried Delta Ceramacoat's Satin Interior Varnish for sealing. It is thinner than the Mod Podge, so the brush strokes are less noticeable, but they are still there! The only sure way to not have brush strokes is to use a spray-on sealer I think.

Once your modpodge is dry, use a piece of wet sandpaper on the album and it smothes right out...looks weird until it dries again but it works.

I have heard that this works, but I'm too nervous to try it! LOL!

I've been using the foam brush mini roller, and it seems to leave less strokes that the regular brushes. Although, it's a lot harder to get a really think coats on with the mini roller.

LOL It really does work, but make sure you have the 3-5 coats of modpodge on it first. Provided that you are not doing it over just one or two thin layers and you use a really fine sandpaper it works like a dream.

I don't use thick coats anyway, stuff costs a small fortune over here, and it tends to work better for me with several thin coats.
