Vicky_CO Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 You need to seal the photo I usually laminated it. I also pour on the cool side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citygrl707 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Heres yet another question, once i laminate the picture do i have to put it in glass or can i just put it in the gel and do a double glass for the candle that will be burning? As a forever candle . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
