Since someone asked, we’ll explain what’s up with this mysterious item, which is also included in the Deluxe Starter Kit ?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A glue-on-bail! what’s the purpose of such a thing? You can turn your pieces to a pendant who don’t have a eyelet on their own. I turn the desired piece, and will fix the glue-on-bail with our thick resin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A small drop is enough….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to place the pendant so that it stays straight while curing depends a little on where you want to fix it. A good remedy is to hold the glue-on-bail into place and shine on it with the UV lamp. For this piece, I have put on the glue-on-bail on one side of the piece and push down the other side of it until it rests straight on the other side.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now cure it with the UV light.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now the glue-on-bail holds well. \"\"\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/span>
\nYou can see it shining through here, next time I’ll have to use more white pigment or cover the area, with a sticker for example \"\"\ud83d\ude00<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I would like to cover the back with resin as well. As the pendant no longer rests straight because the glue on bail protrudes, I help myself with a small tray put upside down. Now I have a straight surface to work again!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As usual, spread the thick resin all the way to the edge, fix it with a UV flashlight …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and cure it completely in the UV box \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now you can thread a chain through the new eyelet and wear your jewel \"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With glue-on-bails you are flexible how your piece will hang. You can place it in the middle like on this butterfly ….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

or on a wing like here… what do you like better? \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n
