A Hot Mess?

So, yesterday I mentioned my little cabochon making experiment. This is day three and they still aren't dry!

In fact, if you notice in the pictures, when as the glue is drying, it seems to be evaporating. There are big dips in each mold. So, yesterday, I added white glue to fill, and that is what you see. The white glue is also shrinking and evaporating away as it dries. In the process, I found out that many of the colors of the glitter are from a tint that was added to the glue, not from the glitter itself. The white glue in some of my molds is turning the color of the glitter. Hmm...

So, at this stage in the experiment, my genius has turned into a hot mess. If in several days, or however long it takes for the glue to completely dry, I will add some hot glue and see if my little cabochons can be salvaged.  Until then, I am crossing my fingers. Next time around, I would like to try brushing glitter into the molds first, then filling with either hot glue or Diamond Glaze. Plus, I will grease the molds to make them easier to unmold. If I find some glitter glue sticks, I might pick them up and give them a go.
