elwopo Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Hello. Some time back I remember reading a post where someone mentioned using some type of clear product to add a shine to an otherwise nice pearl. Does anyone remember what that product was? Using the search function has yielded not much more than frustration. Thanks in advance.
BMWrolex Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 I have this indexed for a future project of mine.... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=13043 By adding some clear U-V crystal cement, and then curing it with the sun for a couple of minutes, you can fill the little voids and give it that gloss-over look as on the GEN. I just received this beauty from EL, by the way. The procedure was done in 2 steps. First to fill the void, I added a small drop. I cured it with the sunlight (or UV lamp if you keep a spare around the garage--I don't). Then I added another drop on top to give it the round pearl look. The pictures were taken prior to polishing it with a cotton shirt. before the procedure, the pearl looked good, but was a little small, and favored one side more than the other.
