FloraCraft Craft Water Floral and Craft Simulated Water

Love this stuff. I kept the vase near my stove while it was heating so it would gradually warm up before putting it in the pan. I’ve done three now with no issues. I messed up one and was able to pull out the stems, wipe them off, heat up the vase with the gel in it and start the arranging over again after it melted back downNot so sure how it’ll hold up to dust overtime, but my mom used it a few years ago and the arrangements still look fine so fingers crossed

I was really worried about using this for the first time. Everyone talking about the bubbles and the mason jar breaking, I was nervous. Especially because this being used for a client of my bosses for a high end interior design firm. But I love this stuff. Directions are super easy and clear. So far, the arrangements look good. I only did them about an hour ago. Now, I do have a couple teeny tiny bubbles but nothing that makes me think it's the end of the world. I did get a little sloppy and dripped some down the side of my vase BUT it cleans up easy and fine. As for the people who said their glass cracked - I'm not sure what they used but I used nonstick cookware because it doesn't get as hot as stainless or cast-iron. Also, I did not put my pot back on the HOT burner. After being on the stove for about 20+ minutes, it was plenty hot enough. So that's my spiel. Good luck crafters!

Quite pricey... I can buy a whole arrangement with container etc for less than I paid for just the simulated water product.

Actually I haven't yet used this product after I saw how little the bottle contains. Would take a least 4 bottles to come up high enough in the vase for the flower stems to reach. And this stuff is expensive!

Worked perfectly! No bubbles and easy to use

I was so excited to get this item! As soon as it arrived I opened the package, and started preparing it. The directions were very simple. When I got to the part that tells you to warm up your vase, I thought that was weird but the product states you must do this to avoid any air bubbles. Beyond my better judgment I listened to the directions, and it resulted in my mason jar vases to shatter. Extremely disappointed.

This is the only product that I have tried that is clear has no bubbles if you pour slowly and follow the directions . The only little hiccup is when you clean your pieces to put in the gel glue must be really dry .

This product came 3/4 full and the box appeared to have been opened. So it seemed like it was used, sent back and the company redistributed it. I wanted to just send it back myself, but I was already waiting forever for this one to arrive. In hind sight, I should’ve just gone to Michael’s or another craft store to purchase a similar item.Anyway, since I really wanted to put my flowers in the vase, I went on to use the seemingly used item. Let me tell you, the process was not an easy one. In the end, the arrangement turned out nice, but the simulated water had some bubbles. I was not pleased about that. Would I recommend it? Eeh, if you’re desperate enough to put your flowers in a vase and unwilling to go elsewhere to get another brand, I guess.
