Sealing Paper Beads With Minwax Wood Hardener

[@melbabowen4389]

Shannon, I dip my paper beads in wood hardener 7 times. After last dipping has dried, I then dip them in minwax water poly. They are hard and durable as rock!

[@ShannonGreen]

Wow, I bet they are!!

[@daciaclewis]

I have loved watching you grow in your crafts! You are so much fun.

[@ShannonGreen]

I'm so glad you've enjoyed my videos!

[@kehlenn1]

I just tried this with some paper beads for an online art swap and it works great! Thanks for putting this information online.

[@AmbersCorner2.0]

i tried the wood hardener that u used in the video a few weeks ago... and the smell was horrible and the fizzing scared me ....like a toxic bomb...i use PC wood petrifier now...not toxic...and no fizzing

[@ShannonGreen]

So glad you found something that works for you!

[@chrisharrison5974]

Great video, does this method fill the ridges on round beads. Many thanks. Xx

[@jesseb5112]

Holy cow! Your bears are awesome, and you have made more than I can imagine making.

[@ShannonGreen]

I really do enjoy making them and the will get used...eventually!

[@KarenYauney]

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing. Are you still doing bead 😊❤😊❤

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

thank you Shannon - this was good to see - i almost thought this video was going to end with a shot of your beads drying from your garage door lol weeeeeee - Hugs to you xx

[@ShannonGreen]

I tried to get that shot but couldn't because of back light!

[@ljc.youtube]

I will have to try this. the mod podge that i have been using to seal my paper beads, i let dry of course, then put all the cured and dried paper beads in a plastic baggie, I went back to check on them, and they were sticking to each other just a bit, they were still useable, but I don't like them sticking, so I will have to try this, thank you.

[@melissae1116]

Good video. Maybe the bubbles are coming from trapped air in the bead shaft.

[@verafilindeng1995]

Love how these beads turned out, Shannon! I´ve probably become a pain in the behind for our local hardware store (I live in Finland); " I need a similar product I saw online..no, I don´t know what it´s made of..."etc. The shop owner has grey hair nowadays. Tfs, Fia xx

[@ShannonGreen]

LOL I can just imagine!

[@kkossor3046]

You are so smart Shannon! Thanks for sharing this!

[@ShannonGreen]

THanks for watching!

[@lynnheald3294]

What is the string called that you are using ?

[@deborahnewell4591]

Very cool product, Shannon! I've hesitated making any more beads because it's such a hassle doing one bead at a time when coating them with glossy accents or polycrylic. This will definitely get me back to making beads! I'm assuming they don't stick together on the threads, or you'd have warned us. Thank you for sharing your info with us!!! ❤️

[@ShannonGreen]

They've not stuck together at all which still amazes me!

[@nancyh9125]

Not happy working with these products to coat them.

[@sandraswanepoel169]

Hw many dips do you do

[@diyallthings]

Is it better to varnish after using the wood hardener or the reverse?

[@jennifertravis7346]

Great idea! I guess the beads dont stick to each other as they dry?

[@christierella]

I heard if I watch all the ads without skipping through it supports you some how, I hope it's true! Lol! I love your videos!

[@ShannonGreen]

You are a constant source of support in so many ways Christie and I thank you for that!

[@dalesharp8485]

WOW, indeed! What an ambitious project you've got going there!

[@tinasacco6838]

[@KarenYauney]

I tried PC Petrifier which is a waste of time and mobey.

[@zigryignacio4343]

Why???

[@nancyh9125]

@@zigryignacio4343 it didnt do any good at all. Ive given up on paper beads.

[@noemivadnai2897]

Hello! how many times should you dip? is it necessary for other purposes or is only the PF enough?

[@BonnyAndClive]

I look at paper beads like Homer Simpson looks at donuts. Mmmm paper beads...💚💙💜

Your beads are just beautiful Shannon! Do you sell your paper beads? Hugs Marsha

[@ShannonGreen]

I haven't in the past but I've got so many of them now that I might have to!

[@activeincolorado]

The bubbling is just the wood hardener forcing the air out of the beads

[@ShannonGreen]

Good to know, thanks!

[@lyndamorrill5687]

Love the beads. Do you ever sleep lol 😂

[@ShannonGreen]

Heh :) Yes I do but I stay busy while I'm awake!

[@suemoon1817]

In the past ive tried dipping my paper beads, during the drying process the liquid hardner would fill in the hole somewhat.. any tips on how to prevent that from happening?

[@ShannonGreen]

I’ve not had that happen at all. Is it Minwax or a different brand?

[@AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ]

I Used This As Well Definitely Make Your Beads However You Wanna Test One Bead First Because It Has Acetone Duuuh Acetone Removes Paint Color So Keep That In Mind And At Times UnScrewing That Top To Get It Open Is A Workout And Make Sure You Have Pure Acetone Just In Case You Get It On Your Hands I Wear Gloves But This Stuff Can Still Put Holes In Your Gloves If It Sits Too Long Other Than That I Still Like Using It Like She Said Just Be Cautious I Occasionally Use Pc Wood That Is A Really Good Hardener I Have Even Heard Some People Dilute Mod Lodge Not Too Much Water But A Tad Bit And When They Damp Dry They Put Them In The Oven Or Microwave Depending On The Oven Temperature 10- 20 Sec No More And Repeat Less Secs If You Have To I Haven't Tried It But I Hear Does Work Either Way If You Want Your Beads Rock Hard And Water Resistance These Methods There' s A Wait Process But If Your Addicted Like I Am The Waiting Process Is Worth It!!!!

Great ideas, thanks!
