Fiona, I've had 2 of my 3 Rub n Buff lids split. I've tried everything to patch them up, but sadly the paste is drying out very fast. If you come up with any way to save it, I'd be interested. I've now started storing the tubes in a plastic container to see if that helps, but I'm not sure it is. I've just bought 3 new colours - they are so expensive - and I'm hoping they won't do the same thing. The split tubes were hardly used. Glenda
@GlendaCairns I have had this happen too and I have used plastic wrap and put the lid back on. When the lid has cracked so bad, I have used the plastic wrap and a small elastic band.
thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to film your great technics Fi. Love all of you work.:-) This would be so gorgeos for a cover on a steampunk album. Wish you a great evening my friend.
@xannero1 Thank you Anne :) I simply cannot waste anything lol lol lol. Like the idea of using this on a steampunk project. Did you see the video where I used face cream instead of a gel medium lol lol lol. Add the right ingrediants and you make a cheaper alternative for background texture :) Full of darn ideas I am Anne, one can have sleepless nights at time because of how my brains works ha ha ha xxx
I just posted my very first mini yesterday, I am so pleased with how it turned out. They are so much fun. Kris's one you made is one of my favorites. Who would ever think of using pencil shavings for texture? Fiona would, thats who! This is going to be so pretty when you are done, love the texture
No kidding....pencil shavings! Wow I'd never have thought it! I use mechanical pencils, but my boyfriend uses regular ones, so I've got some shavings already. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Hugs
Hia just to say thank you so much for my order and the bits u put in they are lovely thank you so much I'm hoping to have a box you put together just waiting to see wen you be doing them again thank you thank you il be playing with it all xxx
yay for the newbie's tfs the list Fi, looking forward to watching them. love the pencil shavings idea and falling in love with rub and buf. hugs from chris in oz

@rsingr100 Thanks for the tip - I tried tape, strong glue, even 2 part putty to no avail. I'll try the wrap if sadly there is a next time.
