*Note: The 4 oz Crystal Lacquer can be used
as refill of 2 oz starter kit OR you can install Applicator Tip
on the spout to apply onto images. (Applicator Tip sold
separately)*
Before You Start
* Make sure your project and work area is dust free.
* Use and store 3-D Crystal Lacquer at room temperature.
* DO NOT SHAKE 3-D Crystal Lacquer. It will create air bubbles.
* Have extra tissue and cotton swabs handy for corrections.
* Paint brush (optional) can be used for background.
* Normal drying time is 15 to 30 minutes. Larger areas and
thicker application will take longer to dry.
* When dried completely, it will appear “Crystal Clear”
* After you finish the project, make sure to wash the applicator
tip with running warm water thoroughly
How to install an applicator tip.
1). Remove the cap from the bottle and install the spout.
(Fig. 1)

2). Dispose the original cap.
3). Remove the long cap from the top of the spout.(Fig.2)
4). Cut off the spout using scissors or knife as
indicated on Fig.3.
5). Twist and push applicator tip onto
the spout you just cut.(Fig.4)

Fig. 3
6). After you use 3-D Crystal Lacquer,
remove the applicator tip and wash with
running warm water. Store the tip in safe place.
Replace the long cap back onto the
spout to keep lacquer from drying up.
How to prevent the tip from clogging.
1). While you are using 3-D Crystal Lacquer, let it sit
(tip side down) on a moist paper towel in a
container. This will prevent the tip from becoming
dried & clogged while in used. (Fig.5)
2). When you are finished, wash the tip with runningwarm water
making sure the inside is clean. You can blow into the tip to
clear all water from inside the metal tube.

Basic Technique of 3-D Crystal Lacquer
1-A) Outline image Outline every image you want to raise, and
let it dry.
2). Fill inside the outlined image.(Keep adequate spaces between
the image.)
If the sections are too close to each other,
skip over one section to the next and apply the lacquer. (This
will prevent from merging.) After the lacquer is dried, go back
to skipped section and apply lacquer. * In case of making
mistakes or air bubbles get in the 3-D Crystal Lacquer, wipe
them out with Q-Tip as soon as possible. Then reapply the
lacquer.
3). Raise images. You can reapply 3-D Crystal Lacquer over
the dry areas to raise levels. (Please do not overlap between
the images!) * Use Q-Tip tocorrect overlaps*

Advanced Techniques for
Picture Images
(1). Wavy images such as flag or fabric, are
raised
wherever the color appears to lightest.
Raise the lighter colored areas
 
(2). Rounded images are raised the highest in
areas that curve towards you. Areas that recede or are away from
you can be outlined only.
(3). Use Soft-bristled paintbrush to apply a
final layer to the spaces between the images.
(4). Background images. If a background image is
black or white, it shouldn’t be lacquered. If a background has
strong strokes, apply a thin coat of lacquer with a painting
brush, following the brush stroke on the picture.
