Can I use different types of glue?

Yes, while clear school glue works best, you can experiment with other transparent adhesives as long as they dry clear.

What if I want to use it outdoors?

While it can be displayed outdoors, ensure it’s covered from direct exposure to rain or harsh sunlight to prolong its life.

How long does it take for the glue to dry completely?

Depending on the thickness of each layer, allow at least several hours for full drying; overnight is ideal for thicker pieces.

Can I reuse materials or change colors later?

If you stored your suncatcher safely, you can certainly change the colors by applying a new layer of glue with different food coloring over the original.
