Deep or Shallow Monomer Dish?

[lovenails1]

Hi.

After watching some of Carl's videos with his cute little doggy monomer dish, I've been wondering, is a shallow dish better than a deep dish.

I suffer alot with tiny air bubbles, and when I was dipping my brush into my EZ-Flow ceramic Monomer dish which is 5 1/2 centimetres deep I got thinking.

Is that why my brush gets air in it, because it touches the bottom of the dish sometimes and kind of puffs out?

Would a shallow dish prevent that because I would just be kind of patting it into the monomer and can see where the brush ends etc.

Has anyone got any thoughts on this? I really want to get rid of those pesky little bubbles. thanks.

I use the creative dog bowl...that works fine and is not deep at all.

I haven't seen that one, I'll have a look when I go to my Creative supplier's stand at the Expo on Saturday.

I suppose any type of bowl is good in glass etc, might keep my eyes peeled.

Thanks.

brushes are long and narrow (like a dead body kinda) and an oval dish would allow the body of the brush to fit in it sensibly. The shape makes sense.

Put it this way, how come coffins aren't round?

yep that makes sense, never thought of it, thanks.

Does the Creative bowl come with a lid?

 

[Rachel Mary]

No, well mine did not anyway!

I use a stainless steel egg cup on a saucer complete with lid, it's as deep as I want it to be, depending how much monomer I put in it!

Didn't get on with the dog bowl, it was too small for me.

I use a small candy dish that has a lid.
