Caramel Creme Experiment

[gerryr]

This was my third attempt at using the Caramel Creme from Pipe Maker's Emporium. It's really transparent stuff. This time I decided to take advantage of the inherent color and texture of Gorilla Glue and enhance it with fine pearl glitter that I sprinkled on the glue as I was inserting the tube.

Comments welcomed.

Ya know...I kinda like the looks of that. Gives it a sparkly kinda feel. Nice work

Thanks for the comments. This transparent stuff is difficult for me to deal with. I tried painting the inside of the blank with a plastic spray paint, which never dried, but did when I sprayed the brass tubes? But even coloring the tubes, the texture of the glue is still evident. I think painting the blanks is the only way to go unless you want the texture of the glue to be visible, but I haven't figured out a good way to do it yet-a brush for the next trial. The picture doesn't show it, but this thing is quite "glittery" in real life. Hopefully it will appeal to someone.
