    Did you have any issues with the wood breaking off the earring backing?

    • @VicTacToe
      @VicTacToe  Před rokem

      Thank you! :) When I first started making earrings I had that issue, and I tried lots of different types of glue. The best one I found is “Roo Glue” rooglue.com/product/roowood/. Also, the earring posts with the biggest pads definitely hold up the best. I try to use 8mm posts when ever I can, and I always tell customers to never get their earrings wet.

    • @VicTacToe
      @VicTacToe  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi! I use a very fine tip paint brush and the paint I use is Craft Smart acrylic paint, which dries quickly so it’s easy to work with :) Also, the scored lines make it easier to paint within the lines since they are are indented on the wood.

    Do you see the glue strokes over the earring backing after you brush the extra glue? I currently use Clear Gorilla glue for my earring backs but I hate when extra glue comes out the sides. So I'm looking for a better and easier way.

    How long does it take for the glowforge to cut the earrings?

    • @VicTacToe
      @VicTacToe  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi Jennifer! That depends on which model you have, and obviously how many earrings you're cutting, what size they are, etc. I have the Basic model (which is the slowest). So for example, to cut 1 pair of the octopus stud earrings in this video it takes 21 seconds.

    Hi! I design SVGs and always make sure my decimals are set at 3, which seems to work well for shirts/signs. Do you set them at 7 because the earrings are so small?

    • @VicTacToe
      @VicTacToe  Před 2 lety +1

      I just gave 3 a try and it did actually work fine, so I guess 7 is a bit of over kill 😂 I had such a bad experience saving the decimals at 1 I wanted to make sure I didn’t mess up my designs again haha

      Thanks, I appreciate your response! I’m not quite sure what I may be doing wrong. Have you used mod podge in the past? If so what was your experience with it? I’ve used both the spray and the paste. I’m contemplating using the paste and then spray on top.

      I don't have any experience with mod podge. That sounds like a good plan, I would try it out and see if it holds up! I also used to use Krylon acrylic spray, but I switched to Aleene's because I wanted more of a glossy finish.
