Specialist;
For now I agree that you might be better of going with epoxy. I use Devcon 30 minute in the syringe to do mine. I buy a bunch of kiddie brushes at the dolloar store and brush it on with them. I hang them right after I brush them and I don't have any problems with the epoxy running. Just be sure not to put it on to heavy. Two hours after the first coat, I apply a second coat and usually I add some glitter to it. I like how shiny they come out when using the epoxy. Here's what they look like......
