Default Glass ball ornaments

I have always used re-inkers to make the glittery ornaments, can anyone explain why the sudden use of floor wax is so popular? Does it work the same?

How did the glitter stick to the reinkers? The floor wax holds the glitter against the sides of the ornament - it's easier to work with than tacky glue - it's more fluid.

it stuck really well. I have seen many posts about the glitter falling off with the floor wax and it made me nervous to try it. But it has to be cheaper than using reinkers...

I've never used reinker. I have mixed glitter in Modpodge or cheap acrylic paint.

I have about 24 glass balls that I used reinkers and glitter . They are anywhere between 305 years old.

They are all still inked and glittered. Have had no problems with this technique.
