DIY glassware

Crafts of liquid glass with their own hands - a new trend in needlework, creativity that has gained particular popularity among home craftsmen. First, let's talk about how you can use this material as an auxiliary component. In particular, the adhesive composition is used for the manufacture of homemade plaster. What can bind these materials? How to combine them together? It makes no sense to mix gypsum with liquid glass, since both compounds belong to the category of fasteners. But, nevertheless, there is a relationship between them.

When to use liquid glass for sculptures?

First of all, it all depends on the location of the craft. For instance:

• You made a gypsum piggy bank and put it at home. No additional coating is needed, because the apartment is dry and no special temperature fluctuations are expected.
• If we are talking about decor for a summer cottage, where there will be humidity from atmospheric precipitation, and seasonal temperature differences, you can not do without additional coverage.

Important! As already mentioned, adding liquid glass to gypsum is pointless, but processing the finished craft from above is simply necessary. This is due to the fact that liquid glass has excellent waterproofing properties. It remains only to apply it to the surface of the gypsum sculpture in several layers, and it will become invulnerable to snow and rain.
