Attempted to decorate the recently completed fuzz pedal. The tremolo pedal I
just printed out a pattern on plain paper and glued it to the case, and then
covered it with a couple coats of glue, and then a clear coat sealer. The
craft stores seem to label this basic concept as decoupage,
though this particular useage is a bit simpler.

However, trying to do this with stuff printed out on glossy color inkjet
paper didnt seem to work as well. Which, now that I have tried that
, I can see why. The paper isnt porous at all, so the sealant/glue
(aka, really think white glue…) doesn’t really work. I eventually
tried some photo mount I had, and that seemed to help. But
the end results aren’t as nice as I would have liked.

Are there any types of printer paper that is glossy on the print
side, but porous and rough on the back?
