When using a completely smooth, shiny foil, does this crinkle or ruin the foils at all? I've tried dozens of topcoats with no luck.

Diane I have not tried this yet with my foils. I just purchased some foil glue and I will be trying it tomorrow.

I have no luck also it cracks and ruin the foils stays on my nails for about two to three days, my next step is to try to use UV gel top coat over the foils.

no, it will not crinkle or dull foils. it works great... give it a try and if you aren't happy with it, I will give you a full refund.

I very seldom have a problem with them creasing. I do have a couple brands of liners that seem a little " loosely creased" and it might happen with 1/24, but it is usually not a problem. I hate that happening too.

Hello, I am glad you asked this here so that others can read this as well because this pops up from time to time. Mylar is one of the toughest flexible materials ever created. The film we use to make these can take the weight of two and a half cinder blocks EVERY square inch... and folding does not hurt it. (Still, we do ship orders of 3 or more in a large box as long as it is not Fulfilled by Amazon) But Mylar film is transparent. It looks metallic because a separate layer of aluminum has been added to the Mylar. Normal use, even filling it or moving it, will cause tiny breaks in the foil layer that you may sometimes see if you hold it to the light - but don't worry, they are not holes. This happens with all Mylarfoil films and their barrier properties are not significantly effected . I'm glad you didn't forget your best friend! We are now including extra absorbers in all our sets, which is better for items like dog food that have a lot of interstitial air. Merry Christmas!

we're doing ours in full sun and in sections for the same reason. I will caution you, watch the youtube videos before you begin. I'm finding it's a lot more difficult to get this stuff on evenly....we plan to do a third coat. If you decide to go ahead with using the product, be sure to mix it as well as you can and cover anything you don't want splattered. it may be a good product when it's all done and said, but if I knew then, what I know now, I would have just recovered with a different stain product.

WOW! Wat a difference. Just grabbed mine to inspect it. It was cloudly! There isn't a place to peal it, but from a tad bit of wear, the stitches of the cloth border had sort of torn at that film stuff, so I was able to scratch at that and rip it off. Doesn't give the impression it was supposed to be removed, but it did come off and now it's nice and shiny!!! So thank you!!! Take a pair of scissors or a paper clip, and just kind of scratch along the edge until it tears open a bit and rip the thing!

Margaret, sorry for taking so long to answer. Not good at follow-up. I have five gowns (two with unlined jackets) in the bag. None of my gowns have ruffles or frills, but one is a layered silk, where the layers are flouncy. I just checked and they all look great with no crushing or creasing.

it may be all rite depending on the heat type ? is it flame heat or element heat! also what are you using for a top coat like a clear coat?

I'm sorry, but we've only put on the first coat. We also had some "thin spots" but didn't have enough product left to try a second coat. I don't know why you couldn't cover with a second coat. That stuff is SO thick and sticky. Pretty sure it would stick to anything! :-)

A second coat should help problem. I put on one coat in two batches. On the second batch I did not stir enough and ended up with a tacky surface in a few places. Talked to company and they said to do a second coat. Put on second coat and had a good chemical reaction. No tacky areas now. I have had the product on my bar top for three years and it looks as good as the day I put it on....i.e. GREAT!! Just be sure to stir the 2 components together completely when making a batch.

This is a base coat. I don't understand what foil or adhesive has to do with this. Neither is needed. You apply nail polish on top as usual. Hope this works out well for you.

I did not have a problem with the wrinkles. I thought they pressed out easily with a steam iron. Chocolate cake got smeared into mine and it came out in the first wash. I think it has pretty good stain release properties.

Did you save the paper backing? If not I'd place the decals on sheets of wax paper and then weigh it down with books or whatever you have. I did this prior to using them and it got rid of the creases. I hope this helps you.

As others said, use two pieces of tape. However, if possible, have a helper help you peel the cover off and do it slowly. The film has a tendency to curl and you may create a crease if you are not careful. Also I found it very beneficial to spray the film as you peel it back so that if it sticks to itself it will not be ruined because it will be wet.

I have never ironed or steamed my Prism backdrops. I just smooth it out as much as possible, and use clamps to stretch it out. I use Photokey 5 Pro and have not experienced a problem with wrinkles. HOWEVER: 1) I edit all of my pictures in either Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Lighthroom, before sending them to Photokey 5 Pro. If during all of the moving about in a photo shoot, the backdrop gets a large wrinkle, I remove it during editing. I don't bother with the small wrinkles. 2) Lighting is VERY important, I use three light stands. one left one right and one center. If for some reason the screen doesn't seem bright enough, I correct it while editing. I have never ironed or steamed my Prism backdrops.

I think I understand your question. I have wrinkles and my answer is that it provides great coverage, including on wrinkles (which I have plenty of) but it doesn't "settle" in to wrinkle lines in a "cakey" way if that's what you mean. It's smooth. This is why I love this makeup. It is provides really good coverage. Not all liquid makeups do that. Some of the other makeups are so "natural" that they absorb into the skin so much that in a few hours or sooner it doesn't look like I have any make up on. This blends beautifully on the skin and does not absorb itself away. Back to the wrinkle question: At least for my wrinkles, they don't become more noticeable when I apply this makeup and I love the way it looks.

In my experience you can do a touch up but you can end up with a crease where you have done the touch up. I think it best to remove the shellac and reapply.

I haven't tried using it with foil but I don't think that this basecoat is sticky enough for that purpose.
