I have another question. I etched some beads, wanting to leave some murrini shiny, I painted them with nail polish. I think I wasn't careful enough and left a little on the outside of the murrini on the bead where i didn't want it, so figure I can etch them again, when I paint them with the polish this time, is there a good way of only getting the polish only on the bit I want. The actual varnish brush is maybe a bit wide.
Id use a really fine paintbrush and wash it in varnish remover..
I use a wooden toothpick to drop it in the middle, then push it out with a tiny brush.
I cut about two-thirds of the bristles of my nail varnish brush away ;)
When I was doing my poppy bricks I used PVA and applied it with the end of a thin mandrel :) hope that helps? Xx
Ah that might be easier. :)
