It takes almost 200 degrees to start to get the gel to flow in the first place, so aside from storing them in a shed in the summer, you shouldn't have any trouble. I have a few drinks which were made 3 years ago this way, and the abuse the glasses have taken is more noticeable than any issues with the gel. (Truthfully, actors are so interested in the fact that the drinks are not real that their oily fingerprints on the top surface from poking the gel are the most visible signs of use.)Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285220696053223933.post-47986587251916958762010-03-07T14:12:21.858-08:002010-03-07T14:12:21.858-08:00Thanks Ron, those are great suggestions!

For those reading this that have easier access (and more restrictive budgets), I've also accomplished this in one of two other ways depending on the clearness of the "drink." I've utilized gel candle wax for a variety of see-through liquids or craft soap for milky or opaque liquids. Both are easy to tint, and are usually locally available at a craft store like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or AC Moore. The best part about them in long-term storage situations is that if they ever start to detach from the glass or have problems is that they can be put back in a microwave and "refreshed."<br /><br />Keep up the great work, I love the blog.Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285220696053223933.post-89655195035678257132010-03-04T23:04:12.445-08:002010-03-04T23:04:12.445-08:00I was going to ask how you got all the perfect bub...I was going to ask how you got all the perfect bubbles in there, but then I saw that they were in the glass itself. nice!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367846789553317479noreply@blogger.com
