I have been using Sculpey glaze and haven't had a problem until now. I started to glaze my last batch of beads and the glaze wouldn't adhere. It looked like water on a waxed car. Anybody have an idea why this would be happening?

Hi there,

This has happened to me but it's when I've been applying a second or third coat. Had you already applied a coat of the glaze? Did you paint the glaze on or dip the beads in it? I have the best luck getting my beads covered completely when I dip them straight into the glaze.

Susan, thank you so much for the reply. I was actually painting a little teapot I made along with my beads and it was the first coating. I will try dipping my beads - that's a good idea. Thanks! Terry
