Instructions
Step 1
Fill the Crystal FX Glue Syringe with enough E6000 Plus Resin Glue for your project, be careful to not take more glue than you need. The easiest way to do this is to place the end of the syringe inside the nozzle of the E6000 Plus glue tube and pull the plunger on the syringe while gently squeezing the tube of glue. This will transfer the glue from the tube to the syringe with minimal mess and exposure to the air.
Step 2
Once the glue is transferred you are likely to have a small air bubble in the syringe, hold the syringe vertically so that the bubble floats to the opening at top and gently push on the stopper, pushing the air out until there is only glue left inside. You can then attach the needle tip, completing the syringe.
Step 3
Use the loaded syringe to squeeze out a thin layer of glue onto the glass, drawing out your chosen design and leave it for 5 to 10 minutes to get tacky. Be careful to not apply too much, otherwise you will risk the glue running in unwanted directions. We also advise doing this stage in small sections when working on three dimensional objects to minimise the risk of accidentally touching the glue while it’s still wet.
Step 4
Once the glue has had a few minutes to become tacky, pour the Crystal Faerie Unicorn Tears crystals over the glass allowing it to stick to the glue covered areas. Ensure you are holding the glass above a container that can catch any Preciosa crystals that are not caught by the glue. You might want to do this a few times to get maximum coverage. Tidy up the edges and let it dry overnight.
