Pipe Cleaner Fish: Drying

Video Transcript

"Your fish is just about done however, it does need some time to dry. And you might want to look over your fish to find out if there any loose areas that need to be touched up with some glue, maybe some glitter, maybe some places that you missed. The things that are wet right now are the areas that you hit with the glue added some glitter the eyes are also wet. The best thing to do since this is a three dimensional project sculpture we would like to hang it so that we can actually dry it on all sides. If we we're to lay it down and have it dry on one side we risk the glitter and the glue attaching itself to the surface. So we really want to hang this somewhere where it can dry and also we want to think about all the glitter that might be falling off. So a good idea is to hang it somewhere where we could put down a piece of newspaper, somewhere in a bright sunny window that will help the drying process, speed it up a little bit. This hoop that I added on here can be extended so that if you have an easier place for drying it will attach to just about anything. You might even want consider hanging it from one of your cabinets just for the short time it takes for the fish to dry. You want to make sure that the things like the glued on eye, the glitter especially the eye are dry before we hang it anywhere where a child could get to it since that is a choking hazard."
