    NOTE *When working with melted or heated UTEE, it is always safest to wear a face mask and work in a well-ventilated area. While not toxic, the fumes may cause headaches, stuffy noses or the feeling of a sore throat in sensitive individuals.

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Melt Clear ultra-thick embossing enamel plus 1/2 scooperful of UTEE F-L-E-X in the Melting Pot.

    2. Add two to four droplets of To Dye For inks. These are made special for the pot and are safe to be heated. Stir with the Kool Toolz Spatula which is heat safe and non stick.

    3. Stamp on CD using permanent ink.

    4. Use Heat Gun to heat the CD to soften it and then cut with good scissors.

    5. Hold the cut piece of CD with tweezers and dip into the molten embossing enamel.

    6. Place the CD on a non-stick craft sheet to cool.

    7. Place a cardboard craft square into the molten enamel. Lift out with tweezers and IMMEDIATELY place on the backside, (not the color side), of the rainbow foil.

    8. Leave in place for about 30 seconds until it cools and then peel off foil. The color will remain on the craft square.

    9. Lift foiled square with tweezers and dip it, color side down, into molten enamel. Lift out immediately (if you leave it in too long, the foil will disintegrate).

    10. Place hot foiled square on the craft sheet and instantly place your CD onto the hot surface, pressing into place. They will bond. The tinted enamel that squeezes out from the sides of your project will appear glasslike when the project is finished. Should the CD pop off, Zap-a-Gap super glue will hold it back in place.

    11. Add embellishments like Beadazzles and Zamora Beadz using our Puttin' On The Glitz glitter glue as a base. Then attach the pin back or pin bale.
