Can I use other types of glue?

While clear school glue is recommended, you can experiment with other types, but be mindful of drying times.

What if my colors mix too much?

Sometimes, blending colors can create beautiful effects. If you prefer distinct colors, apply them carefully and let each set of colors dry before adding additional layers.

How long does it take for the glue to dry?

While drying time can vary based on the thickness of the glue, typically a few hours will suffice. Be patient to retain the integrity of your design.

Can I hang this outside?

While it's mainly meant for indoor use, if you want to hang it outside, ensure it's in a sheltered spot to protect it from rain and direct sunlight.
