Whether you use glitter glue for spelling out your name or for creating cool, glittery designs, it's fun to use it.People who use glitter glue know that waiting for it to dry can be hard.If you don't have time to wait for your glitter glue project to dry on its own, you need a method that can help.You can use a hairdryer, a fan, or the power of the sun to help speed up the drying process.
Step 1: Set the hairdryer to low or medium heat by plugging it in.
Turn your hairdryer on with the heat setting at low or medium when you find an outlet near the surface where you have laid your project.The wet glitter glue may warp if the heat setting is turned up too high.
Step 2: The surface of your glitter glue should be at least ten inches away from your hairdryer.
From your elbow to your wrist, point the hair dryer at the glitter glue, which is about the length of your forearm.The distance between the hairdryer and your glitter glue project helps to make sure that you don't warp the glue as you dry it.
Step 3: To dry glitter glue, wave the nozzle of the hairdryer back and forth.
Don't use the hair dryer anymore.To give an even distribution of heat, move the nozzle of the hairdryer back and forth over the project.If the glue is sufficiently dry, do this for about two to five minutes.Look at the color of the glue to see if it is dry.Your glue has dried if it is clear.
Step 4: Put your project on a surface.
If you use a fan to dry glitter glue, you want to make sure it won't blow away before you start.You can use paperweights to weigh your project.Magnets can be used to stick your project to the side of a fridge.Hang your project up so the air can hit it.If you use a fan that can sit on a table, make sure to weigh your project and point the fan at it.
Step 5: The fan can be turned on to medium or low.
The glitter glue could get stuck if the air from the fan is too strong.You can point the fan at your glitter glue project by keeping it on a medium or low speed.
Step 6: Wait at least 10 minutes.
You may have to wait up to twenty minutes depending on how much glue you need to dry.After ten minutes, check to see if the glue is dry.You are all set if the glue is clear.You can work on something else while the fan dries your glitter glue.It may take slightly longer than using a hair dryer, but you don't have to sit and do nothing.
Step 7: There is a sunny spot in front of a window.
The sun's heat will help to evaporate the water from the glue.Try to find a place with continuous sun for at least twenty minutes.
Step 8: To let the breeze blow on the glitter glue, open the window.
This will help the glue to dry quicker.If the weather is damp or rainy, keep the window closed and only do this if it is dry.
Step 9: Wait for twenty minutes.
As you wait for the method to dry the glitter glue, work on something else.Using the sun to dry glue takes longer than using a hairdryer or a fan, but it will still help speed up the process.If the glue has turned a clear color, it's time to check it out.Allow the glue to sit in the sun and breeze for twenty more minutes if it's still wet.
