<\/a>\"Waterproofing<\/a>Video #281:<\/span> <\/span> I can now wear my bracelet again without smelling like a wet dog! ~Cindy Lietz<\/span><\/span>

I love the look of Hemp Macrame and Polymer Jewelry, but have always hated the smell when it gets wet. To me it smells like a wet dog that has not been bathed in a very long time! Yuck!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Working from home, I am always fitting in household chores like dishes and laundry. Plus, many polymer techniques can get messy, so that means a lot of washing up. As a result, I would always think twice about wearing hemp bracelets, such as the one shown in today’s video with the Arizona Beads<\/a>. Like I said, hemp smells terrible when it gets wet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, one day when using some PYMII to seal a finish on some polymer beads, it dawned on me that this unique pym product would be the perfect solution to solve the stinky little problem that was happening with my hemp macrame bracelets.<\/span><\/p>\n

If PYM can waterproof a piece of paper (which amazingly it can)<\/em>, it only made sense that it could also prevent water from soaking into the hemp cording. And since it is compatible with polymer clay, ceramic, stones, metal, glass and anything else I might make a hemp bracelet with, I could spray the finished piece as a final step… and waterproof the whole darn thing!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
