If you want to make unique kaleidoscope chambers with your own glass, plastic, metal or other pieces, we are pleased to offer this selection of high quality, clear acrylic chambers. Fill the bottom part with your colored objects and seal the top to the bottom. When cured, fill the chamber with oil through the tiny oil filling hole. Then close the hole with the stopper. We recommend a fine tipped syringe to fill with oil (click
here for syringes), and we also sell an acrylic cement,
Craftics #33 that chemically 'welds' the acrylic pieces together to prevent leaks - plain glue will not work well.

Note: these 2 new chambers require a bit of strong pressure to attach the cap
(I used the heel of my hand, but a vise should work too!)...the vendor was a
little overzealous attempting to make sure the chamber doesn't leak. If
they used a chemical bond, like the kind you get using
Craftics 33
cement, they wouldn't have needed to make it so tight! |
