### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beyond fabulous!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 6, 2024*

Love that this serves for so many functions I was not expecting!! I wanted to play around with its purpose On an abstract piece I’m working on, However, I got sidetracked and needed clear glue that would solidify over stones like clear quartz and smoky quartz on a huge art piece. I’m working on. It works just like the gel mediums in the capacity and it was such a fantastic surprise. It doesn’t have to be string gel.Golden Never disappoints and surpasses all other brands in quality as far as my experience's.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yet to be determined

Great product. Not what I was originally in the market for. However, it works great for image transfers and bonding.
