September 12, 2008 12:34 PM Filed Under: CRAFTS Q & A

My daughter got really into those old-fashioned "paint by numbers" kits. The paints all arrive in fine condition when you open the box but the varnish is always harder than a stale jawbreaker. What's a good non-toxic varnish, other than clear nail polish?

Remember that father in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" who used Windex to fix everything? Alyssa always keeps a jar of Mod Podge in the house 'cause it works for just about everything.
