How long does it take to dry?

Troubleshooting
Gel is difficult to spread smoothly
Ensure your tools are clean and consider warming the gel slightly by holding the container in your hands for a moment before application.
The glitter design looks uneven
Apply using a light pressure with a palette knife and ensure the stencil is held firmly against the surface to prevent bleeding.
The product is taking too long to dry
Apply thinner layers for faster results, or use a low-heat setting on a craft tool to gently accelerate the drying process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your workspace is flat and that your surface is clean and dry. To maintain the longevity of the product, always close the lid tightly after use to prevent the gel from drying out inside the container. If the gel begins to thicken over time due to exposure, it is best stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When cleaning, use soap and water to rinse any tools like brushes or palette knives immediately after use, as the product is permanent once fully cured.
