-Clean & Dry brushes, bowl, measuring cups, and gloves, between applications (you can let the
Mod Podge dry on the surface, then peel it off. To remove ICE Resin, you can let it dry and peel
it off, or use acetone).
-Before you begin the ICE Resin process, change the wax paper on your work table.

1-Cover your work table with wax paper (plastic sheeting). Tape down corners.
2-Gather and arrange your materials on your work table.
3-Pour Mod Podge into a bowl.
4-Put on your surgical gloves, take your first component and using your sponge brush, liberally brush on
the Mod Podge. Be sure to cover the entire surface (front & back). If you are using layered flowers
(roses), you may want to give them a Mod Podge bath. Thoroughly saturate the component. Remove
from bowl and let excess drip off, or use your brush to remove the access.
*It is very important to coat the entire piece.*
5-Lay the component on its side, on the wax paper cover work table, over night or until completely dried (it will feel tacky to the touch if its still wet)
6-Repeat this process two more times. On the last coating you can sprinkle on the fine sugar glitter.
*It is very important to let your components dry between coatings.*
7-On the fourth day (making sure your pieces are thoroughly dry). Mix your ICE Resin, according to the
manufactures instructions, or watch B'sue's YouTube video for complete mixing instructions.

8-Put on your gloves and with clean wax paper (on your work table) and sponge brush, dip your brush into the ICE Resin and apply a thin layer over the surface of the entire piece.
*I don't recommend a ICE Resin bath. It's best to just cover you component in a thin layer.*
