Has anyone used the waterglobe kits from National Artcraft?
Would you have any tips/techniques for the final assembly of the waterglobe? I put the seal in the freezer for several minutes, that seems to make it a little less difficult to put it into the globe.
Their instructions say that the seal should be flush with the edge of the glass globe, but I can’t get it to that point without ending up with the whole thing inside the globe.
Filling the globe with the water solution is almost impossible. I can do it, but I wish it were easier.
Any tips on crafting snowglobes/waterglobes with the kit from National Artcraft would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t know what you’re using it for, but you may get some tips/etc that would be applicable from various places on this page at my site:

You might especially want to read the paragraph under the LESSONS category that begins with:
“Garie’s lesson on making a snowglobe (purchased globe kit from Eberhard Faber, Fimo . . . ”
since it has info on one way he deals with similar problems.
(Polymer clayers sometimes put their clay creations, etc, inside water/snow globes, including purchased ones like the ones from National Aircraft, so that’s primarily why the info is at my site.)
