Popits

[monkigems]

I have been experimenting with Popits and have come across a few thoughts and queries about them, i hope that a more experienced "Popit" can help me out?!

I end up with a fair amount of acrylic past the free edge, is this because i am over filling the popit, or am i putting the acrylic too far down that it spills over?

I'm not really sure how much acrylic i should be putting in, would you say a thinish layer? and would you put it in so that once you push it down it spreads out to the right size as apposed to making it the right size in the first place?

I am also getting a few air bubbles, i'm assuming that this is down to how i apply the popit and that i am not pushing all the air out?

I have probably answered my own questions, but your thoughts would be much appreciated

Hello I am no expert at all
I was told to use 1 big bead ( the same amount you would use in all 3 zones)and just let it settle into place, do not pat at it,that should stop the bubbles.
Not sure about the rest. I know I was pressing mine to hard and it sqeltched out the side.
I really need to practice !!!
Good luck
