please reply.... we can use ANY glue to glue the picture into the bottle cap right?

[Beadaholique]

@JewelryandCrafts There are many glues you can use to glue the images into the bottle caps. I suggest using a "white" glue that will go on smooth and not absorb too much into the paper. I would avoid using E6000 or superglue. Have fun!

[JewelryandCrafts]

@Beadaholique okay thanks! oh and do you make paper beads?

[Beadaholique]

@JewelryandCrafts We don't currently have any projects or videos for making paper beads, however I do know that is possible to do with either mod podge or some white glue and pretty paper. I will put this idea on my to-do list for future videos :)

All of your videos are so informative! I love Beadaholique! One question, how long do you have to wait in between the first sealant coat and the next? Is there a standard drying time?

[Beadaholique]

@gatafierrra There is not a standard drying time for sealants because people use different products and everybody's house will have a different temperature and humidity. A good guideline is about 15 minutes between coats but you may experience it takes a little less time or a little more. When I think it is dry, I lightly touch my finger to it to check. For the final coat, wait even a little longer - it is a MUST that this is completely dry before pouring your resin. Have fun!

[gatafierrra]

Again, thank you for showing us what could happen if we miss a step, or alternative affects. These videos have been a heaven sent!

[Beadaholique]

@seraunconventionalTV Hmmm... I am not sure if the foil is going to work or not, I am sorry but I have not tried that. Again, the best way to find out is to do a small test. To get a see-through looking print, you can also use rubber stamps and Staz-On ink. So you would pour one layer of resin half way up your mold, let fully cure, then stamp the image, let dry, then pour a second layer of resin. Best of luck! I would love to know how your experiments turn out.

[Beadaholique]

@Beadaholique The only thing I worry about is the sides of the tape/image, if perhaps the resin might seep in a little there and cause some bleed. You could try doing a test, perhaps take 4 images, place the sticky tape on both sides of all 4, then on two of them, place some mod podge along the outside edge, over the area where the stickers and papers are sandwiched. Let that dry, then pour the resin over the 4 images and see what happens.

[Beadaholique]

@seraunconventionalTV What an interesting idea about the sticky tape! I have never heard of it being done before, nor have I tried it, but logically it does make sense. I would give it a try, perhaps do a test of a couple images sealed like that and see what happens. (I would just use bottle caps or something inexpensive for the test and not bezels). Just make sure you really press that tape onto the image and have no air bubbles.
