Triple Thick Glaze for Paper Beads

[@TheHappyHomesteadingHerbalist]

I use Triple Thick, and love it. It isn't the right glaze if you want a more organic look, and natural paper look. You end up with a glass looking bead. It's self leveling too.

I just wanted to say your channel is freaking awesome! I subscribed a few days ago. I love your clear instruction and tips.

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

Thank you so much for telling me this! It makes all the work that goes into these videos worthwhile!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@RMurrell31]

....new to your channel; I really enjoy: watching, listening and learning. I do paper beading and find embossing powder achieves the same results faster. I realize we don't all have the tools to emboss, this is just my point of view.

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

Hi Renee! Thank you so much! I have done a couple of videos on glazing with embossing powder. It does give a nice look, although one of my necklaces that I wore a lot ended up cracking. That might be because I put the powder on too thick. Has that ever happened to you?

[@lauraandrews8072]

Hi There, could you please tell me what the difference is btwn this triple thick gloss glaze and a DecoArt gloss varnish? thanks

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

I have not use the DecoArt Gloss varnish, but unless it says that it is specifically for hardening, it won't make the beads hard.

[@gamacappucino6798]

would like to see u do the embossing method . thanks

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

I will add embossing powder to the list!

[@justinesanphillipo8296]

Great Tutorial! Since the Diamond Glaze isn't waterproof, do you do anything to your beads at the end of the process to make them waterproof? Have you had any experience with the glaze melting when you get the paper beads wet/damp?

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

No, the glaze is water resistant so it stands up to sweat and hand washing etc. It just won't last for hours if submerged. I have paper beads that are 5 years old and still shiny and perfect!

[@barngirl39]

My beads don’t stay on the skewer. Any suggestions for me? What kind do you use and what bead size do you use? Thank you. Love your videos!!

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

I make paper bead rollers that have a slot to hold the paper. You can get them at paperbeadrollers.com.

[@barngirl39]

I am wondering skewers you use, too. I have tried 3 different brands and my bead just swirls around on the stick and make it hard to glaze.

[@JBHEITZ]

Triple Thick is my go-to!!

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

It's good stuff!!!!

[@barngirl39]

Mine never dries. It is still sticky after 3 days of drying. Help?

[@stephaniekaminchak3101]

Is there a comparison video using the different glazes? Which one do you prefer? I use typically use Mod Podge and then follow up with two coats of Diamond Glaze, but sometimes it ends up being slightly sticky. I wanted to try Triple Thick. Do you find that one leaves a bit of a sticky/tacky finish? What does everyone else use to not have a sticky finish? I’m wondering if I should just use the Diamond Glaze without first using the Mod Podge.

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

I generally don't use Mod Pod, but I have heard others say that it is sticky. I use either the Triple Thick or the Diamond Glaze and never have sticking problems.

@@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers Thank you!

[@CandyOh1]

I have the Vibrance Amazing Base and Vibrance Glaze but I haven’t used it yet as I am just rolling up a ton of beads first. I will glaze them and then start to create! 😊 I’m hoping it works well!

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

Let me know how it goes!

[@CandyOh1]

I received my tool and pallet today! Thanks for the speedy delivery!

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

You are welcome! I'm glad it got there fast!!! Have fun!

[@ArtisticInspirations.]

did you ever make a comparison video of the three glazes?

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

No, and thank you for asking! I think it's time I do that!

[@praisegod3768]

can we also use clear nail polish? Are there any pros or cons in doing that?

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

Yes, you can use clear nail polish. However, nail polish does tend to wear and chip over time. Diamond glaze or triple think will last longer.

[@debbiecarolla7511]

How do u clean ur brushes

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

I swish them around in a cup of clean water. If the glaze has started to dry, I use dish soap to help get it off.

[@lindawood6404]

I would like to see the comparisons using Minwax & the "new" Mod Podge Ultra gloss Spray on Glue & Sealer. I also would like to see all of your comparisons all together so we can see which ones you like the best & which ones your subscribers like the best. Thanks for doing this for us! :)

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

Thanks Linda! I'm going to choose categories and rank how each of them performs. Do you have any category suggestions?

[@ThereseD1012]

I have a very old jar of Triple Thick...it is now Triple x Two Thick. Is there a way to thin this out?

[@sergioknuf]

Water

[@lesleygilbert1945]

I've bought 5 different tubs of Mod Podge but not started to use them yet - do you ever use them on beads?

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

I bought a bottle of Mod Podge that I'm going to include in my glaze series but I haven't used it yet. That video will be coming up soon!

[@alicechristian2980]

Very nice. TFS 🙏🤣👍👋🦋

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TheHappyHomesteadingHerbalist]

I'd like to see the brush on resin. I believe it's from Tiny Panda. I have some but haven't tried on paper beads.

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

I'll see if I can find that. It sounds interesting! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@terriwilson1441]

Have you done Aileen’s paper glaze yet?

[@TheHappyHomesteadingHerbalist]

I'm thinking about trying Vibrance next.

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

I've heard good things about it!

[@cherieducotebreaux3804]

I use 2 coats of Vibrance then top with 2 coats of Minwax Polycrylic

[@ChellejonPaperBeadRollers]

Great!

[@sergioknuf]

Add water

Hello, do you know how to open a triple thick jar that always gets glued shut? It is impossible to pry open even with scissors or a needle
