Hi, I'm having some problems finding the Diamond Glaze. Everywhere I am looking has the recalled lot numbers GP005 for the 2oz and GP008 for the 10oz size. I don't think they reuse lot numbers, and this batch was made November 2008 and cracks when it dries. They recalled it and refunded money to everyone who returned product to them.I've written the manufacturer an email and expect to hear from them next week.

If someone can shed light on this, I'd really appreciate it. I've never used it before, and surely do not want my first try to be using recalled material. Thanks,

Linda

I, too, have heard about the various glazes not being waterproof and am wondering if there might be an easy solution to this. Has anyone tried putting a high gloss clear nail polish over the harden glaze? Seems to me this might solve for the water spots issue; or is this too simple and obvious to be true?

Heather wrote re: Tips for using Dimensional Adhesive Glaze My first try with the DG3 Art Gel was disaster. I put a bit of art glue on my scrapbook paper to keep it from floating. It had a white background with music notes etc. on it. I decided that a copper music note would look great imbedded in the gel.It looked great until the chemicals started their thing & then all around the note on the white paper all ran blue. NOT pretty. My next try was using using a purchased collage sheet & a copper betzel. Same thing. My lovely orange breasted bird became a blue bird as did the berries. So experiment, Once you have your paper/picture with a bit of art paste to keep it from floating,use some type of art fixative or I tried a clear drying art paste to seal the paper. Both worked great & I had no more bleeding into my picture. Hope this helps some.

Donna, would it possible for you to post a link to that info on Beaducation? I found an article on Diamond Glaze but not much about the waterproof aspect.

I just wanted to let ya'll know about another website that gave tips and the "waterproof"ness of the Diamond Glaze. I also am a member of Beaducation, which is another good website for beading creativity. I was just reading the items on this web site on the Diamond Glaze and Ice Resin and found them very educational. I just though I would pass this along for those who needed more information.

my concern is really the fact that it isn't waterproof. i think it is great to make as a cabachon, but what about sweating? i have lupus and i sweat 24-7. do you have to put a label on it that says "please don't purchase if you sweat....it isn't water-proof" SOUNDS LIKE FUN AND ANOTHER GREAT DIRECTION TO GO IN.....................I AM JUST CONCERN....................HELP!

First of all, did somebody say there'll be a new season of Mad Men? Wonderful!! I've been hooked on that show like no other. Jean, my fellow Twin Citier, thanks for the info on Melinda's book and dimensional adhesive glaze. These are things I never really seriously considered until now...and maybe my work will take a whole new direction, thanks to you.

I have a question about the dimond Glaze not being water proof, I was under the impression that once it dried it was water proof, so that photos and whatever else that gets embeded would be permently protected. Is this not the case? Please elaborate. Thanks

Thanks for this article! I bought some Diamond Glaze and some glass tiles, and have scoured the 'net for tips on making tiles with the image under the glass. But I'm still a little shaky on one point: Once I have my image glued face-down on the tile, I apply the Diamond Glaze to seal it, right? Do I let it sort of dome itself, as much as I can, on the back side of my image? Or do I want as thin and flat a coat as possible? (I am wanting to eventually glue an aanraku bail on the back for stringing...it will be glued right there, on that final layer of Diamond Glaze...so I want it to be clean, pretty, and STRONG...) Also, is it reasonable to think I might glue down two images, back to back, so there are two "good" sides to the charm? Any tips or tricks I should know, about that? Thanks so much, Jean, and the Beading Daily community for all the wonderful help you consistently provide!

I enjoyed your article for "5 Tips for Using Dimensional Adhesive Glaze" and found it very helpful. I do understand "The Mad Men Obsession" it is better than any soap opera and I cannot wait for the new season to begin! Keep the article coming!

To remove bubbles in Resin, just blow them with a heat gun. Perhaps this will work with the dimensional glaze. They just float to the top and pop! twfancy

Jean, this is spooky. Last week's column was about a book I'd just read. This column is about a product I bought last night! Are you hanging out in my head? Can't wait to try this stuff, it looks and sounds awesome. Thanks for the great tips. Sue
