Judikins GP005 Diamond Glaze: Premium 2-Ounce Crafting Solution Review

Oh my god. . . this thing. It's runny and the bubbles make me want to kill. It's difficult to paint evenly, and if you miss a drop, break out the hammer and chisel because that's the only way to remove it. (Say goodbye to your stuff in this situation.) But I swear to bubblegum, if it works, it works, and it's clear, beautiful, and perfect. So you got me, Judikins, you pretty devil, you got me.

I used cabochons to give the super scary mask lots of extra eyes and they turned out better than I expected when combined with this glue. I was going to use the pre-made cabochons for the eyes, but they ended up pixelated; So instead I drew the eyes myself with a small brush and glued cabochons on top. In any case, this glaze dries fairly quickly - but not too quickly - turning matte colors into gloss. This is exactly what I needed.

Used to make paper beads. That's great! It works much better than Modge Podge. It leaves a shiny layer on the pearls and makes them look so much better. Everything else I've tried looks dull and lifeless. But this. this is great. Although I don't suggest sending paper beads in the washing machine or soaking them (like showering with them). Here's a photo of some of the camouflage beads I made with the glaze.

Beautiful at first sight. Images degrade over time. I use this to make display case, paper and metal frame decorations. I don't know if the glaze reacts with metal or something with paper. Initially, the finished products are beautiful, but over time, a bluish tint begins to appear on many of them. I first tried sealing the paper with Mojo Podge but that didn't solve the problem. Very annoying to say the least. When it works, it's great, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to…

Seems to be a great product for certain items but not quite right for my project. I used it to glue the glass to the metal back of the pendant, pressing natural materials like flowers and lichen in between. There were always small bubbles somewhere that distorted the effect, and the glue bonds reacted strangely with some of the plant materials, giving them an unflattering color. This is probably a great product for gluing flat paper designs under glass or simply combining materials into a glaze
