Default Crystal Effect hint

I could not find a pin to place in the tip of my Crystal Effects when I finished with it one day so I took the top off and off the bottle lifted it up slightly and blew through the tip to clear it. This has worked beautifully for me ever since.

It sounds like it would work! Thanks. I was using a pin in the top, too.

Good idea! I never know what to do with the pin while I'm using the CE, anyway - one more thing to get lost in the shuffle, ya know?

I just bought some baby bottle nipples to try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huZXoBncje0

My grandson was shopping with me and wanted to know why I was buying them!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'm going to ask anyways...
I have the 3D Lacquer in colors and those tubes and also a bottle of it. The lacquer won't come out of any of the tubes or the bottle. Is there a way to loosen this all up, or is all the lacquer a waste now and no longer usable. Tia...

I don't have the adhesive you mentioned but I would try rolling the tube/bottle in your hands before trying to squeeze out some glue. For the tubes you might also try gently kneading the tube to bring the contents to the opening. Be gentle so there aren't any squirted messes!


Good luck and ...


Happy Crafting!

Vic, I picked up the nipples yesterday, but didn't have time to try one until today. I had an old bottle of Glossy Accents, the top was down to a nib, and it works! What a great tip, thanks!!!

I love it when a cool tip really works! The last time I got this excited was over the dryer sheet technique to remove cardstock from dies!

If your 3D Lacquer is the same as my old Crystal Lacquer, try heating it by rubbing the closed container back and forth in the palms of your hands. Here in Chicago I might also put it on one of my floor board heating vents. For me it needs periodic warming and a pin in the tip to keep it usable.
