hmmmm..I might have to get some of that and test it. It would probably take a while, though. I'm guessing that the beads would have to dry and become non-sticky before that stuff could be used on them. I don't remember exactly how long it takes them to dry (I haven't made any since I was a kid), but it'd probably take a few weeks or a month or two before they're dry and hard enough. Have you considered trying to dry them in a very low oven the way you do dried fruit slices? -Su |

I'd be wary of heat-drying them. After all, when you heat sap or amber it
get runny. Tina "Valerie" wrote in message ... but it'd probably take a few weeks or a month or two before they're dry and hard enough. I'm going to start experimenting and see what I can come up with.. Could you speed up the drying time by baking them? Works with many things; paints, polyclay (had to add that!), paper clay...why not sap? LOL! Although I'd put it on a low heat so you don't melt it into nothing. Wait...does sap melt? Hmmm....
