If a puzzle has been Mod Podged, can it be mounted using Kool Tack. I also have Miracle Muck and VacuGlue 300 but have never used the VacuGlue. I appreciate your feedback! Gina :nuts:
 
I don't see why not. I've mounted puzzles, both Mod Podged and not, using Fusion, regular drymount tissue and Vacuglue. Be sure to follow the instructions on the Vacuglue.
You might have to increase your dwell time using Kool Tack as I have found that it true with any of the adhesives I've used.
 
Be aware that due to the longer dwell time this will likely need (since the heat needs to travel through the cover sheet and the thickness of the puzzle to activate the adhesive), if the face of the puzzle is coated with the Modpodge, the coating will smooth out. It's not an altogether unfavorable result, but it does tend to look more like a print of a puzzle instead.

Just thought I'd throw that out there as a heads up.
