Is there anything which is best for glazing the beads? for instance, would gloss acrylic medium be ok, or is there something preferable to that?

I use a couple of layers of UTEE for a thicker glaze, but don't know what others use! The embossing powder lets me embed glitters and fibers in the beads as well.

I use Triple Thick (when I think of it), but I swear by Decoupage & Collage Gel made by Crafter's Pick. I have used the Clear Embossing Powder with the melting pot, but have to practice more on getting my bubbles out. Any suggestions on that?

I tried dipping then and failed UTTERLY. More power to you if you can do that!!!
