Hi all, I just got these off ebay. they are like bits of foil, how should i use them?

I'd encase them in either gel / acrylic that would look great !!

Hi hun i love this stuff it is sssooo effective i put a really thin layer of acrylic on the tip first, then pick up pieces and place on top then put layer of acrylic over the top to seal it or you can mix with the powder hun HTH

Hi hun

The best way to do this is on the free edge when sculpting use a very paper thin layer of clear acrylic place the mylar very quickly on top before it sets.

After you have done this incase the whole lot with clear acrylic the file buff etc as normal you can also add colour/glitter acrylic to the design aswell.

hope this helps:hug:

The best way is to just SLAP it one and dont try to be uniform.

Then you will have fab results

hi, what do you use to overlay it after placing it on the resin?

your regular product, gel or l/p acrylic or i suppose fibre/resin. whatever you would normally use for your overlay.
