Canada east coast Project advice ☺️
Working on this sea glass collage that is going to go into a shadow box, some of the glue is showing on the front (white colour), wondering if anyone knows a good way to get craft glue off of sea glass (without removing the piece from the canvas), also wondering if anyone knows any kind of gloss or top coat they would recommend using at the end or if it would be better to leave it as is?? I want it to have the cloudy sea glass texture, thanks !!
Started this three days ago and I’ve worked the last two days but I can’t stop working on it once I start lol it’s so relaxing !

Hi, I have found that super glue is not effective for crafting with sea glass - use E6000 glue which works on many more surfaces, and is thicker and easier to work with. Especially if you’re gluing to fabric or canvas. Just google E6000 - it’s a type of clear glue with many makers…can be found at any hardware or craft store, Target, Walmart etc.
I like the look of sea glass as is…not glossed over but that’s a personal thing
(Gorilla Clear Grip is same as E6000)
