It seems that Jennifer McGuire has been using the Distress Collage Matte Medium lately. I doubt there is a difference, but thought I'd ask here before running out to buy some.

I haven’t tried any of those, but matte medium could have some differences such as thickness. But they are all basically the same. I buy matte medium from the art section (Liquidtex, Golden) at Michaels with a coupon. You may want to check those out for prices.

Thickness is exactly what I think too. It seems that the collage medium is thicker and you can add a little bit of dimension if you don’t press your piece down firmly, but having never used it, I thought I would ask to see if anyone has hands on experience. |

Golden comes in different thickness, and Liquidtex probably does too. They have a heavy-body which is good for adding heavier collage materials. Hope you find what you need! |

I have trouble squeezing out the matte medium so I ordered a bottle of collage medium. It was backordered though.

I have some but haven't tried it. A fellow art journaler I know swears by the collage medium over matte medium. Don't know why or the difference but it's his preferred choice.
I use a fineliner with my local art store's brand of matte medium.

I have seen that Michael's carries it, but it's out of stock at all of the ones close to me! Guess I may have to order some online and give it a try! |

I use matte medium and didn’t know about collage medium. Guess I might have to try some out.

I use Collage Pauge by Aleene's. It's much cheaper, and it works just as well. Here's a link where you can buy it on Amazon. They also sell the 16 oz. size, and the glossy version. (Note: This is an affiliate link.) Collage Pauge Matte 8 oz. |

I got my order of collage medium today. When I have time I'll compare how easy it is to squeeze out vs the multi matte medium.

I was wondering the same thing. I noticed that it is harder to find multi-matte. HL clearanced it a while back.
