I store mine in a j-bottle at room temp. It doesn't seal itself up,
like I was afraid it might. I squueze a litte on to a qtip to apply,
but your henna should be *very* dry, as the goop will re-wet it,
sometimes mine will go from dull dry brown back to frshly applied
green after the goop is on. The smear factor is huuuge at that point,
so I caution others I'm painting to *be still & blow on it!* But wow,
once it's dry you can really be fairly rough on it and it holds
together.

I use about 1/5 elmers glitter glue to 4/5 cheap hair/body glitter
gel in the j-bottle. And, like Maureen said, you can put a henna dot
to touch up those little cracks, even if the goop is still wet. A lil
dab'll do ya and it seals right into the design. More than a dot can
result in a watercolor blur instead of crisp lines.

Let us know how it works if you try it! :) And how did your party go
(I havent finished reading new posts, so ignore that if you've posted
your adventure tale already.)
