How to Glue a Puzzle With Mod Podge
Preserve the jigsaw puzzle you worked so hard to assemble by gluing it together with a puzzle glue, such as the one from Mod Podge. This glue, called Puzzle Saver, allows you to glue the puzzle pieces together to save your puzzle for many years whether you display it on a table or frame it and hang it on the wall. Mod Podge Puzzle Saver is available at most craft supply stores as well as some stores selling puzzles.

1
Complete your puzzle on a flat surface with a piece of wax paper underneath. If your puzzle is already finished, carefully slide wax paper directly underneath the puzzle. This will prevent you from getting the puzzle glue on your table surface or accidentally gluing puzzle pieces to the table.

2
Squeeze some of the Puzzle Saver onto a paper plate or an additional sheet of wax paper. You do not want to squeeze it directly onto the puzzle as this can cause an uneven surface later on.

Dip your sponge applicator into the glue and "paint" it over the top of the puzzle, being sure to get every piece including cracks between puzzle pieces. Paint the glue on your puzzle in a thin layer so that is remains even throughout the puzzle for a clean finished look.

Let the puzzle glue dry for at least 15 minutes before moving the puzzle to another location or having it framed.
