If your bead is too wet when you're not keeping it the powder for long enough

It should look like wet snow before you apply it.

You may also need to be a little more heavy handed when wiping your brush before picking up the bead,
you could always try wiping your brush 4 times instead of 3,
we all apply different pressure when wiping the brush so that is a bit of an individual thing that you need to work out hth

Get yourself a plastic sheet and just practice picking up beads of product.

You can then try wiping different times or keeping it in the powder longer to get the right consistency.

Only way to get it right is to keep trying.

The simple answer would be to dip again in your polymer,it will com with practise.

Too dry you disgard,too wet,dip again

If your brush is always damp it shows you have been using it. Don't let it dry out. If you don't have any clients for a few days give your brush a dip in clean monomer you will keep it flexible.
