It lasts about 4-6 years if it is untouched.If it is touched a lot then you may want to re-do it.

Question

Is a sealant necessary if I am going to frame my diamond picture with glass, not plastic?

Helperchick

Community Answer

No. Leave it off to keep the diamonds a little shinier! Using Elmers glue on a paintbrush won’t make it less shiny and is a great addition.

I put too much sealer on and my diamonds are dull 😑. Can it be fixed?

Helperchick

Community Answer

Yes! If you put some stick Elmers glue on a paintbrush and put it on everywhere it should get a bit shinier! Next time you can do this to seal and shine your diamonds!

What is the best way to trim the instructions on the edge from the completed picture?

Community Answer

Use scissors. Chop around leaving the spot with a bit of plain picture around the edge.
