Title: New Silver Glass Clio
Post by: SuefromYorkshire on March 30, 2010, 02:04:51 PM
Just received my batch of Clio very excited  ;D.
Has anybody had a go with it yet?

If you have any tips for good results they would be very very welcome, as I can be hit and miss with these Silver lovelies! It might be a little premature as I haven't yet tried but I'm about to, let you know how it goes! ;)

Hi Sue

If you do a search on Clio on the forums there have been a few threads on it already, with some piccies of what people have managed to achieve.

I'd love to know your secret Sue, all I've got from mine so far is beige.

Thank you ladies ;D, first time luck I think, the trick will be repeating them! :D

I just melted them on, not super hot or anything and then flashed them back, after coolin a while, through a small reduced flame (turned down the oxygen, I have a Minor), some of them twice.

They are mostly pure Clio, except the squarish one which is on Striking Red - that's why it's so darker! The very light ones are Clio on Clear.

Good luck, I hope the glass fairies are kind to you! ;D ;D
