27 Jul 10	I recieved a sample bottle last year when Tim Holtz was in Cape Town,South Africa for a scrapbooking convention. We used on our embellishments and I immediately became hooked and needless to say my sample bottle was used very quickly. I only use this product as an adhesive for any shape/size embellishment. A great 2-in-1 product.	Michelle Anders
12 Oct 09	Love it: never without some. Versatile. Prefer this to similar Judikins product.	Julie G
16 Aug 09	One of my favorite products. Works great on stamped chipboard. Only wish they could get it to dry faster. Needs to set overnight. Excellent adhesive on painted object.	Katemac
25 Jul 09	I use this to make my own 3-D embellihments.I die cut or punch shapes, then cover with Glossy Accents. As others have said, it's excellent for adhereing pearls, crystals, etc. because it dries crystal clear. A friend inserted photos of her children in indentations in a stepping stone and we sealed them and filled holes with Glossy Accents. The ink on the photos did not run, and it's still holding up. I have even used it to add shine and seal beads to Red Liner Tape. Never yellows. Excellent product.	Karlene-Frances
24 Jul 09	I LOVE this product!!! it makes the images really pop! and it's also great for attaching embellishments like dew drops.	sue morris
24 Jul 09	The most important thing about Glossy Accents that I just love is if I use it over dye based inks IT Does NOT Smear!!!! I always grab this product for so many uses. Lots in the bottle too!	LeaC
24 Jul 09	Bonds 3-D accents to paper almost immediately. Dries crystal clear but your project should be kept away from dust while drying. Use a pin to pop any bubbles before it dries. I love it for sealing items in bottlecaps.	Little Joys
24 Jul 09	Dries to a crystal clear, 3-dimensional finish. Also an excellent adhesive. Works great with papers, and over stamped images.	Naomi
23 Jul 09	I've used this to accent details on fabric postcards and ATCs. It works well.	Victoria S.

Glossy Accents and Crackle Accents

Here are some examples of ways to use Ranger Glossy Accents and Crackle Accents.

Glossy Accents

Glossy accents add a glossy shine and dimension to areas where it is applied. Because it is thick and the bottle had a precision tip, you can use it draw on the Glossy accents like you might color in an image. When you first start applying your Glossy Accents, squeeze a small amount out onto a peice of scrap paper because most of the air bubbles occur at the beginning. If you take care not to tilt the tip back up you may not get any bubbles at all. If you do get a bubble, pop it with a sharp pin before the glossy accents dries. If the pin is not sharp, you'll chase the bubble all over your artwork.

Glossy Accents seems to brighten images colored with colored pencils. You can add as many coats as you like. The dimension you get when it's wet is greater than the dimension when it dries, so you need to wait for it to dry to assess whether another coat is needed.

Crackle Accents

Crackle accents has the same fine applicator tip as glossy accents but it is more commonly used in a larger area to make the entire surface of an object appear to have a crackled finish. It is a one-step crackle process. You won't notice any crackle until it begins to dry and the thicker the coat you apply the more you'll notice the crackle effect. Unlike most sealers that recommend several thin coats, this product should be put on in one coat. If you're worried about the paper dampening and curling while it dries, first apply a thin coat of Glossy accents and let it dry, then apply a thick coat of the Crackle Accents. When you first start applying your Crackle Accents, squeeze a small amount out onto a peice of scrap paper because most of the air bubbles occur at the beginning. If you take care not to tilt the tip back up you may not get any bubbles at all. If you do get a bubble, pop it with a sharp pin before the glossy accents dries. If the pin is not sharp, you'll chase the bubble all over your artwork.
