    Parchment paper is the best thing to use to get hot glue shapes to peel away easily. No scraping is required, it just peels right off.

    She's not sayin what material or how much or what to do just showing. Need more than what she's showing. I 💘 it but I have to go to someone that talks you through what they're doing so you can learn.

    • @melisntz
      @melisntz  4 роки тому +2

      I'd say from start to finish it prob took about 4 hours -- but the resin takes 24 hours to dry... This one in particular took me longer bc I had to stop to mess around with the camera & stuff lolz.. Thanks for watching Dex!

    • @melisntz
      @melisntz  3 роки тому +2

      No I dont recommend this. The superglue, the resin, the glos, the paints & the preservatives put on the moss etc .. might be toxic for the fish. There must be a way to make a more fish friendly version out there though.

    Прекрасная композиция! Но сталактиты и сталагмиты не образуются вне пещер, вместе с растительностью. Можно сделать отдельный шар, как пещера с внутренним озером, сталактитами и сталагмитами и с подсветкой внутри. Спасибо! Творческого вдохновения!
