Restoration/customization thoughts
Ok so the thrift store messed up the wrap on this globe.
What I want to do is remove the wrap, dye the liquid(purple), and 2-3 other glitters from my craft stuff. So it will have a few kinds of stars and maybe just normal glitter in there.
Before I open any bottle caps I want a game plan.
I'm hella broke and planning on trying alcohol based food dye for the fluid. This mostly worked on a different lamp I tried but that one came out super dark so I'm going to cut it with distilled water to thin it out. But I assume I don't want to mess with original fluid too much.
I'm going to heat test my glitters shortly. I want to make sure they don't break down at temp.
My thoughts use masking tape to strip the globe. Thats what did the initial damage and steal wool could scratch glass but I'm open to a better way.
Anything else?
