Waterproof Seal?

Waterproof seal?

Does anyone know of a good waterproof seal that I can use on my jewelry? I just finished making two gorgous bridal combs and want to make sure that none of the seashells or glass pearl beads come flying off.

I always use 'Bostik' Marine sealant (silicone glue) , it's used for aquariums and yacht fixtures and seals, its pretty heavy-duty waterwear stuf. i use it on all my mermaid stuf, hairpieces, rings and jewelry, my tail, everything and it works wonders, It's flexible and can bend without breaking, it's touch dry within an hour and fully cured within 24 hours, also, its see-through which is nice since no one wants to see tacky pieces of glue on their pretty accessories.

I looked at 'Bostik' Marine sealant on Amazon and it appears that I would also need to get a squeezer thing a bob to use it with, is that right?

I use craft resin

[angelstarfish]

im sorry but what's craft resin? Is it glue or the thing a bob?

[Winged Mermaid]

It's liquid plastic. Crafters mostly use it to make acrylic pendants for jewelry or cast items from a mold, but it has a wide variety of uses. I say craft resin (epoxy resin) instead of just casting resin, because as casting polyester resin won't cure when exposed to air, so you can't coat things, and epoxy resin will. It's also, from what I understand, much less dangerous to use than polyester resin. I use it for all kinds of things. This is the stuff you can find in Michaels and Hobby Lobby (probably other places as well)-

Here are the instructions (http://www.sculpt.com/technotes/Tech_Sheets/TECH_SHEET_EasyCast.pdf) so you can look at what you're getting yourself into. I find it worth it, but some people don't.

Nope it's all included in the ones I bought from the store, the little nozzle thing is included, theres nothing else you need to use it, I'ts usually very cheap, Im not sure about the amazon prices though, should be the same. But everything you need is included, if it says anything else on the product description then Its probably a rip-off, or been removed from the original packaging
