I have figured out a way to decoupage that has worked so well for me & anybody else that I’ve taught it to. Anytime you add glue to paper, the paper will curl. And, as you found out, if you try to push the bubbles out, you end up smearing the ink off of the printed side. Next time: put your mod podge on the printed side first!! While that dries off to the side, cover your drawer with mod podge, so you don’t have to add that coat after you’ve added your paper. When the front is dry, add the mod podge to the back as usual, stick it to your drawer front & just squeegee it out. The mod podge in the front of the paper will protect your ink from getting smudged & since the paper has already done it’s curling, it doesn’t curl up again. Try it next time!

i know your frustration!! but do not wet poster paper! i do a lot of poster/ pretty thick paper projects and sell them- they do get bubbles but you have to press them out with your thumb- no tools because the tools dont work and end up ripping the poster paper. it is possible to work with a poster you just really need to literally rub each bubble out press your body weight on it- its a lot easier with a table, and make sure the glue undernearth is equally distributed bc any areas with no glue- will definetly bubble.
