Hi Lyn, thank you for your suggestion. You are quite right, a coat of spray lacquer or spray adhesive will hold the salts for longer period. However, in summer you should protect it from sunlight (even indirect sunlight can affect).

Hi Solange, I was just reading about the Epsom salt bottle and was wondering if a quick spray of clear lacquer would solve the problem. I am going to try this when I do the activity and will let you know how I went. Cheers Lyn

The salt bottles take a few hours to dry. You may place them in the sun to dry faster. When it is thoroughly dried there is very little droppings.
I hope you enjoyed the experience.

We tried this activity yesterday & then was wanting to complete it today
but even though the epsom salts were dry, when you picked the bottles up the epson salts would come off. Hasn't been a huge success.

How long does it take to dry so you can move them ? I have just done one and it has been well over an hour and it still is dropping off, I put plenty of PVA glue on. I really like this idea but it isn't looking like it will be ready
at the end of an activity which is around one and a half hours. ?
