What is the approximate drying time? I want to use this as a base and add 1mm stones, but I'm afraid it could dry too soon. Thanks!

I would have to say that it drys pretty quickly, depending on how much you put on it. Within a half hour. Remember, it needs several coats before getting the effect that you are looking for.

The stone is 7 inches long, 1 inch high and 1 and 1/4 inch wide. Works very well. Just need to let it dry out if you store it away so you don't get mildew being in a closed container.

You should be fine doing that but I'd cut down the run times. The glass will wear down quick compared to the stones people are tumbling. Might only start with the fine grit as well.

I used it for showers while back packing. I think it dries fairly quick. It depends on the moisture in the air, but I was really impressed, I didn't notice how long it took to dry but I also never noticed it being damp for too long.

Hi, how are you? I actually put a piece of jewelry in the cup, put the lid back on, wait 5 seconds, then gently shake it 5 times. The five time shake also takes five seconds. I then lift my jewelry out, and give it a rinse and pat dry. This 10 second rest and shake rule works faster than just sitting the jewelry in the container and waiting. It has never failed me, and my jewelry comes out sparkly each and every time No matter how tarnished a piece is, I have never needed more than 20 seconds. Going past one minute will start to take the sheen off your jewelry, and you don't want to do that to your sterling. Hope this helps Laura. :-)

10 to 15 minutes to dry usually.. I suppose high humidity could increase dry time...great results with this product for me

I believe it was a quart of water, but you had to start with one cup or so and add to the right consistency. You will know when it is just right just make sure you stir it a lot in between water adds. A large stepping stone in usually 3x a small one. The large stones are quite large though. I think I had to buy those separately. Anyway just add small amounts just know if you add to much water it will take a while to dry.

It will depend on the surface but usually only a couple of hours. I used it on a cement surface with decorative stones. Since I was going to use it outdoors, I applied several coats and allowed it to dry for 24 hours.

Sorry if I'm wasting your time but thought I'd share my thoughts. I've only had mine a month & haven't noticed any drying to test this out. however, because it doesn't dry out I'd guess it's not water based & couldn't absorb the water. I think a better bet would be to try adding a little oil. I think I'd try baby oil first.

HiI've had stones for years and have never "seasoned" them. What I do is I have a wooden "peel" that I sprinkle wondra flour on (some people use cornmeal) and then I put the stuff to be cooked on the wooden "peel" and let it slide off onto the stone that has been heated to the maximum temperature already. The Wondra flour acts like ball bearings so that they slide onto the heated stone. Nothing has ever stuck on the stone except maybe some overrun of cheese when I do pizza. Are you preheating your stone?

I would wait a few days to allow the moisture from the solvent (which is absorbed by the stone) to dry.

You're welcome. Hard and clear is how it should dry. I've had occasion, when I either did not mix exactly 1/2and 1/2 each part ( I measure in 2 side by side little plastic shot glasses from the dollar store) or it might have been the hot humid weather, but it did not harden all the way, and the piece was sticky �

Application is very simple. Just wet the stone and rub it on the skin. Very effective without chemicals! Need to use with attention because it is slippery when wet, and if you drop it, it will shatter. The smaller pieces can still be used, but it is not as easy, and after an initial shock, the remaining stone pieces seem to fragment more easily.

This glaze is amazing but it has to be applied correctly to the item and more importantly allowed to dry fully. If you're making a piece of artwork say, out of polymer clay, it is best to apply a thick layer without much fussing. In other words, apply a layer and leave it alone until it is fully dry. Then you can apply another layer if need be. I would allow a piece to dry in a cool NON humid place for at least 12 hours. If you are storing an item that has been glazed, please allow adequate airflow to the item. I have had some pieces become tacky for no reason I could comprehend, but I re-glazed the piece and it was totally fine. I don't see an issue with hot climates if you allow the piece to dry for 12-24 hours in a dry, cool place first. If you want to avoid any possibility of tackiness at all, you can create a semi gloss glaze by adding water to the product (in a small cup) and this will reduce your chances of tackiness dramatically. As far as the glaze being heat resistant, I would say it is but please make sure it is properly cured.

Just on the stone somewhat but not really. You pretty much need to know already. Sorry,I'm not much help. Nice stones though as they have a rubber on the bottom and they don't move all over like the others that don't have rubber. There's not much to know on these. Just scratch your piece and put solution on. Now your solution will usually tell you with their directions on how to use the stone and solution..

It hasn't for me, so far, and I have been using it for over a year. Just wait the 5 minutes to allow for drying time and you're safe!

The best way to handle this is to wash it right away with HOT water. That way the water evaporates fairly quickly. This item is really made for dry items. If you are buying one for salsa, a better bet is one of the stone, or stainless steel ones.
