Q: How do you use Diamond Glaze™?
|
A: Diamond Glaze™ is great for application of glitter, beads, charms and other trinkets. Also, a thin layer of Diamond Glaze ™ is a perfect way to create a glossy layer that enhances and protects your work. It is best when used on thicker paper or stock. |
| Q: I hear there's a problem with Diamond Glaze™ cracking when it dries? | A: A bad batch of Diamond Glaze™ was produced in November 2008. Only 2 and 10 fluid ounce bottles were affected. If you suspect you have a bottle from this batch, check the bottom of your bottle. If there's a colored mark—black, blue, red, or purple, you have the newest batches of Diamond Glaze™ and all is good. If there is only a green mark or no markings, you may have the batch that cracks. | More Info |

A: Diamond Glaze™ is water soluble when wet and washes easily with soap and water. When dry it makes a permanent adhesive, difficult to remove. We recommend covering any work surface when using.
|
|
Q: Is Diamond Glaze™ acid free?
|
A: Yes.
|
|
Q: Can you mix Diamond Glaze™ with other media?
|
A: Yes, it mixes well with dye-based inks, watercolor, pearlescent pigments, and pastel chalks.
|
|
Q: How long does it take to dry?
|
A: It depends on the thickness of application. If you apply a thin layer, Diamond Glaze can dry in munutes. A layer that is 1mm thick can take up to 2 to 3 hours to dry depending on the humidity.
|
|
Q: How do you get Diamond Glaze™ out of your clothes?
|
A: That's a tough one. While the glaze is wet, you can wash with soap and water. When it dries, you have a permanent embellishment to your outfit. We are looking for a solvent for cleaning dried Diamond Glaze™, but at this time we recommend soaking in water before it dries.
|
| Q: Does Diamond Glaze™ work well on fabrics or with heat? |
A: Diaomnd Glaze™ is not the best for gluing fabrics. It makes thin and delicate fabrics look wet. Because it is a great adhesive it can hold the fabric in place, but unless you can camouflage the area, a different adhesive may be better.
|
| Q: Does Diamond Glaze™ yellow over time? |
A: When applied in a thick layer or exposed to prolonged sunlight, it may yellow.
|
| Q: Once dry is Diamond Glaze™ scratch resistant? |
A: Diamond Glaze™ is permanent & dries hard, but is not completely scratch resistant.
|
|

|
Q: How does one avoid the ink bleeding when using Diamond Glaze? | Top | |
A: Diamond Glaze is water-soluble. Colored pencils, as well as permanent and alcohol inks should work nicely. Basically anything that is not water-soluable.
