Z 679 Liquid Glass-- $6.95
Liquid Glass is a Multi-purpose product that is a MUST HAVE!
Ideas for Liquid Glass:
- Use to attach page elements (especially good with clear items): metals, vellum (note: it can show through a little bit), transparencies, ribbon, fibers, flowers, plastic embellishments, stickers that have lost their stick…etc…
- Use to add any kind of water effect to a page: bubbles, water droplets, or just to make something look wet
- Use to highlight designs on pattered paper (ex: flowers, vines, or even geometric figures – any area you may want to draw attention to, or add interest!)
- Use on photo to make an object stand out
- Use on stickers to give them dimension
- Add some ink to change the color and it gives it a stained glass look
- Use it with micro beads
- Make clear epoxy type stickers with it
- Fill conchos with it
- Add it to acrylic paint to give it added sticking power (and a glossy shine) when painting metals
- Don’t want a knot/bow in a piece of ribbon or fiber to keep slipping out? Add a dot of liquid glass on the back – it dries clear, rarely (if ever) discolors, and holds like crazy!
- Use it to add glitter to a project.
- tint your liquid glass by mixing in a little re-inker. Then use a toothpick to apply to desired area.
More Tips and Tricks for Liquid Glass
1) It can and does change the ink color a little bit when you put the liquid glass on top. Sometimes it's a really good thing. Reds tend to be more temperamental.
2) Always start with a thin coat and then add additional coats until desired thickness
3) Wrap a piece of scotch tape around your bottle of liquid glass & a stick pin. This keeps a pin handy for when you need to unclog the tip of your liquid glass.
4) Be sure to clean the tip of your liquid glass after use.
