Ok, you know how you place a piece of chicken or fish in a fry pan? You place one end down away from you so as not to splatter hot oil on yourself? Well you sort of do the same with mod podge, s l o w l y while smoothing or tapping gently so you do not develop air bubbles. Sounds odd, but it works for me and best way to describe. Hope it helps.
I normally amodpodge seal with an artist paint brush. Decent quality brushes because the cheapest ones lose hair/ bristles.
A nice, sharp needle!
your canvas will move as a rigid material will not. That complicates the application of wet/glued maybe shiny paper. You do not need much glue. I use Elmers and a foam brush, put a thin layer on the papers and then do as Naomie says and apply carefully from one edge out. Use a brayer (a small roller) or a credit card to carefully pull over the paper smoothing it out and pulling the excess glue out. Carefully wipe this off squeegeeing the glue/water as much as possible. Here is use of a brayer
