Default SU Demo Product Question?

hey ladies, I am wanting to know if SU Crystal Effects is archival safe and won't change colors to a yellowy shade? I have made my own embellies using thin cardboard and nesties.....I then cover the piece with Crystal Effects and glitter. They have turned yellow in just two months...not sure if it is the crystal effects or the glitter, it is a glass glitter from an Etsy shop.

If SU Crystal Effects does change colors, do you know one that is safe and won't change colors? Ranger Glossy Accents?

thanks so much for your help!

I have never had my crystal effects change colors...even after a couple of years. Archival? not really sure but seems like it should be once it hardens.

what I mean by archival is stand the test of time...no yellowing or breaking down.

I wonder if it was the glitter....perhaps I should use another type of glitter?

I know a lot of glass glitters tarnish in the air that I'd be more inclined to think the glitter is at fault.

I've been told that indeed, glass glitter will tarnish but that that is the uniqueness of it. Have you tried making embellishments less glitter in general, try that so that we know if it has anything to do with the adhesive.
