Ok, Modge Podge purchased and used! I'm not overwhelmed by it but it seems good. The issue I am having now is my material (I think).

I am decoupaging comic books onto various things but every time I use the comic book pages (newer books, nothing that was printed before 2009), they wrinkle like crazy as the glue dries, even if I smooth them out immediately (using my fingers or popsicle sticks). Also, as I smooth them, they tear a little on the surface and the print is then disrupted! I've been decoupaging with magazines for almost 12 years without this issue so I am convinced that the pages themselves are causing the problem. Does anyone have any advice on how to work with thinner paper? I really want these to look nice so I can begin selling them, if I was using them I wouldn't care lol.

Edit:
not sure if it matters but I am putting the modge podge on the back of the paper, not the front (yet).
