@eastsaintlouis62203 Sorry, I don't have a vid that shows how to do that yet. I cut portions of the paper and paint a thin layer on with a sponge brush. Let dry. Turn over and do back. Let dry. I then put another coat on the top in an opposite direction.
PS. Hoping to get an actual video camera and getting a friend to record more details.
@touchofcreation I bought a large bottle on Ebay. They probably ship to the Phillipines. Glossy Accents (found in scrapbooking section) and Triple-thick (found near paints & glazes) work pretty good too. They might have those where you live.
@vivifies Depends on your use. A thicker, more resilient is Triple-thick (it and Glossy Accents) are easier to find and both work great as a thick glaze. Diamond Glaze needs a barrier since it seems thinner. IT does work great to coat the pics (front and back) before adhereing to something else. I work the glue off with my thumb and it doesn't effect the dried Diamond Glaze.
Remember to watch for air bubbles and move them off with a pin.
@MetalKittyOTF I've got the Triple Thick. How do You actually cover pics before using the glue? I prefer after, but some of the frames don't have corners. so I need to know? Thanks a lot! Do You think I need to know something more about the triple Thick? Thanks! ;)
@vivifies I use the Diamond Glaze to coat the pics front and back, then glue it to a backing; cardboard, scrapbooking paper, etc. When dry, glue the frame on and trim to size. Using the thicker laminate (Triple-thick or Glossy accents) let drip slowly in a circular motion onto the center of the pic and work your way to the edges. Let it dome a little. Immediately place it on a level surface. Watch for bubbles and fibers; work both off to the edge with a pin.
@MetalKittyOTF Thank You a Loooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just not sure what let it dome a little mean... Looked for that word in the dictionary... ? Does it mean to put some extra material? You are so helpful !!! Do You mean to push the material to the edges horizontally when I have fibers, with a pin?
@vivifies By dome, I mean overfill it a tiny bit so the fluid forms a small dome in the middle. It tends to settle in as it drys and forms a concave (inward toward the pic) if you don't 'dome' it.
You have to work quickly with any bubbles or fibers. Once it starts to set-up, it's hard to fix those problems. Yes, move them to the side with the tip of a pin. BTW..I'm trying to get a friend to make a vid of me demonstrating the techniques. Hopefully, that will also help.
@MetalKittyOTF Thank You!!!!!!!!!!! Very much!!!!!!!!! I purchased a big box and ... a little applicator - bottle. I hope this will not make much bubbles - the bottle... Do You think I should leave the bottle to settle after filling it? How long You think? It is plastic and soft... hm...
You can use a pin to open the end of the spigot. sometimes it gets thickish then you have to screw the top off and stir it with a popscicle stick and unplug the spigot. I used it to attach some of the pics to the background materials. Hope that answers your question.
Recycled from a package that had hair product. Frizz-ease I think. I recycle a lot of things. I hate to throw out perfectly good potential crafty supplies.
do you have a video that shows how to pre-treat paper? When you pre-treat paper does it stay in shape or does it run?
