How to make a work a bit stiff with sugared water
Keywords: good to know,
In this DROPS video we show how we make sugared water and get the Christmas heart from DROPS Extra 0-1394 stiff. Mix a lot of sugar in cold water (90 g sugar in 120 ml water) and stir until all sugar is dissolved, dip the heart in the water, squeeze out the water, form and leave the heart flat to dry (1-2 days). If it was not stiff enough, repeat the process to the desired stiffness (colourless fizzy drink can also be used).

Kan man også bruge denne metode ved acryl?

Hei Helle. Ja, det vil jeg mene. Bare husk å rør ut sukret godt, slik at det ikke blir "hvite" flekker på arbeidet :) mvh DROPS Design 27.03.2023 - 09:06

Ik ben eigenlijk op zoek naar een manier om een tule onderrok meer uit te laten staan. Kan ik daar ook deze verhouding suikerwater voor gebruiken?

Dag Jolanda,
Helaas heb ik geen ervaring met tule en suikerwater. Misschien is het mogelijk om een klein stukje eerst uit te proberen.

Could I do this process also with a hat for the Sauna with 100 sheep whool?

Dear Simone, this technique is mostly used for cotton yarns; wool projects are usually stiffened by felting them in a washing machine. 11.03.2022 - 18:02

Bliver det ikke klistret, når det dyppes i sukkervand? Eller drysser når det tørrer?

Hei CJ. Nei, det skal ikke bli klistrete. Husk å rør ut sukkeret / sukkeret oppløses så det er ikke noe å drysse. mvh DROPS design 10.03.2021 - 08:43

Why is there no audio in any of these videos?
30.11.2018 - 11:22DROPS Design answered:
Dear Judith, Our videos do not have sound. We are a worldwide company and our videos are watched by people around the world, speaking different languages, many of whom do not understand English. We have therefore written instructions to accompany this video, and there is no sound to disturb while watching. Enjoy! 03.12.2018 - 11:03
