I finally found the way I want to stiffen my FSL. I made these coasters out of rounds designed I believe by Christie a long time ago. I used a metallic golden mica powder combined into epoxy for the edge then layered the piece in clear and then finished the bottom with the gold again. I think they are close to perfect.

Thank you Karen. I can hardly wait to try the white set. I have "diamond dust". .
169064If you want to stiffen without the sparkle, save your topping tear-off pieces in an airtight box. As you need to stiffen or re-stiffen lace, dissolve a few shreds in freshly drawn tap water in a pump bottle (like you can get with hair products or at the beauty supply), shake and spray lightly onto FSL. I think Mops told us this way, way back. Just want to give credit, as I learned this and so much more on our beloved Cute sites. This is the free version of spray starch!
While I am on the subject, do you Cuties know not to wash away wash away in the sink drain, but in a large bowl and then hurl it in the woods. Otherwise, after about two or three years, or lots of lace, you will have an expensive plumber bill to clear out the pipe or replace it!
