Thanks for a fun and straightforward video. I've had a bottle or two of this for a long time, and only used it once or twice. I'll get it out and see what I can rustle up, and thanks for the inspiration :)
Diamond Glaze doesn't yellow, but it can react with some metal finishes to produce a green or blue tint. It is very safe, with no odor and no out-gassing, so we like it for those reasons.
To minimize air bubbles with DG stand the bottle up on the pouring end. Obviously, the bottle will need supporting. Other ways to get rid of pesky bubbles are to use rounded ended pins. Simply bend the round end so you can position the ring over the bubble and lift the bubble out. Wipe the pin end dry and make sure the rounded end does not have any DG film over the end before trying again. If you have a small pointy pair of Fiskars scissors open them a tiny tiny bit and position above the smaller bubbles. The surface tension of the DG will allow the smaller bubbles to get stuck between the pointy scissor ends of the scissors. Always clean those valuable scissors after them coming into contact with DG These tricks always do it for me for the bubbles...Cheers.
My Diamond Glaze has thickened up drastically since the last time I used it. It is more like thick melted caramel. How can I thin it out again? Thank you.
@nico27004 Sadly, yes, it can yellow over time. If you are looking for something more archival, you might try two-part epoxy resin. We sell one called ecopoxycraftresin that gives you a nice hard, clear finish.
Hi i got a bunch of tiny bubbles on mine. i sealed it and then put the Diamond Glaze over a picture and didn't see any bubble but when i looked a the next day there are lots of tiny bubbles! Any advise?
@@redsyrenco8172 Anything that can absorb moisture (paper, photos, wood, etc...) needs to be sealed 1st. My favorite sealer to use is a spray can for a clear finishing spray (used to seal/protect wood from weather elements, etc...).
It's a 'dimensional adhesive' according to the packaging...so the 'real' use is for anything you'd like dimensionally adhesed, I guess! Just kidding, it is also used to highlight or add wet-looking drops to artwork or collage.
The final shot really doesn't show how nice this looks in person. We are going to reshoot this video with more up-to-date technology. Watch our page for an updated version!
For those looking for a vintage look, yellowing might not be an issue. That, and Diamond Glaze is preferable for some folks because it's water based and has low or no odor.

Good Tutorial straight to the point easy-peasy thank you
Did the craft diamond glaze hold up on the craft paper or did it attempt to separate later? Pls let me know. My paper started separating later.

This is really helpful, I was wondering how to get the blue reaction to metal to not happen. Looking forward to making better pieces!

I like the vividness of the blue and yellow decoupage paper. How can you keep that vividness in the final product? Thanks.
Is diamond glaze as hazardous as resin? Do you need to wear protective gear? Thanks

Hair dryer from a distance will pop bubbles

Thanks. Ya took the mystery right out of using this stuff!
I like that! i have made a bunch but the glaze i use has to cure under a black light or uv light for 30 minutes!

Hm... try thinner layers or even like when you're baking a cake, try hitting it against a surface to make the bubbles rise?
ty for the tutorial , can you tell me can I use glossy accents instead of Diamond glaze ??? Pauline x
Old video, I know. But you should have sealed the tissue paper 1st, as the yellow stripe color faded after applying the Glaze.
Sealed it with what

I was disappointed to see the beautiful bkground disappear, as you'd mentioned!

You can use Diamond Glaze with charms, crystals, paper, glitter and pigments.
@xoxorockerxoxo They do not carry it. We carry it in our web store though!

I love this video but the background noise is extremely distracting.
I'm so sorry about that! We recorded this ages ago in our shop, during store hours! Watch for a quieter, more in-focus version coming soon!
Thanks!
What's the real use of diamond glaze???
Why would you use/advertise a product that yellows?

You could use a nail to pop the bubbles girl :)
