Do you have to prep the paper mache before adding crepe paper?

When the paper mache is done, do you use Mog Podge, or any sort of sealer before you decorate with crepe paper? Or, do you just apply straight to the finished paper mache?

Answer from Piñata Boy

Normally I just apply the glue directly to the papier mâché and lay the crepe paper onto that.  You can see a few photos of this on the Decorating with Crepe Paper page.  Sometimes I’ll paint the papier mâché first, but that’s usually only if I’m using white crepe paper and am afraid the newsprint might show through.
