Full details
The GEMEX Unicorn Accessory Craft Set is designed for children aged 5 and up who enjoy creative crafting and personalized accessories. Its key benefit is the magical transformation of liquid gel into solid, shiny gems in minutes using a UV light, allowing for quick creation of unique unicorn-themed items like hairclips and necklaces.

Troubleshooting
Gel not hardening under UV light
Ensure the UV light is functioning correctly (check batteries) and is held close enough to the gel. Make sure the gel is fully covered by the light and that the 3-minute duration has passed. Avoid excessive amounts of gel in the mold.
Gems are sticky or soft
The gel may not have been exposed to the UV light for long enough or intensely enough. Try a longer curing time or ensure the light source is directly and fully over the mold. Check that the gel wasn't applied too thickly.
Difficulty removing gems from mold
Gently flex the mold or use a non-sharp tool to carefully ease the gem out. Ensure the mold is completely clean before use. Some molds may require a bit more practice.
UV light not working
Check and replace the batteries. Ensure the battery compartment is clean and the batteries are inserted correctly according to the polarity markings.
