What are GelGems TM made of?
Technically speaking, GelGems TM are a semi-solid, mechanically
resistant, thermoplastic polymer. That's scientist talk for "squishy,
sticky
artworks that are irresistibly fun to play with!"
Where can I stick my GelGems TM? GelGems TM stick to hundreds of things: windows, mirrors, tile,
refrigerators, drinking glasses and computer monitors to name a few. They
can stick to any smooth, non-porous surface: glass, metal or tile.
How should I use GelGems TM?
Express yourself! Put a ring of flowers around your bathroom mirror. A
heart
on your sweetie's computer. Tell your neighbors, "Happy Monday!" on your
front window. Let your own creativity be the guide. To help you get
started,
we've created some designs that you can print out and recreate with your
own
GelGems TM.
Can I put GelGems TM on my wall?
Don't use GelGems TM on your walls. Walls are porous, so they will
absorb color and oil from your GelGems TM, leaving permanent marks.
Can I put GelGems TM on my car windows? GelGems TM should not be used on car windows. Cars can get
extremely
hot inside, and temperatures above 120 degrees will cause GelGems
TM
to melt into a gooey mess.
Can I put GelGems TM in a window that gets full sunlight?
Sunlight will not damage your GelGems TM. However, if the window
glass reaches temperatures higher than 120 degrees, your GelGems TM
will start to melt. Please use good judgment about what windows are
appropriate for your GelGems TM decorations. Car windows, for
instance, are not suitable.
Can I put GelGems TM in the freezer? GelGems TM do not suffer damage from freezing temperatures. They
will
become hard when frozen, then squishy again when they thaw out.
Can I overlap GelGems TM? GelGems TM themselves are porous. That means that if they touch
each
other, they will bleed color onto one another. Sometimes, this looks neat,
but you may choose to keep your GelGems TM from touching each
other.
Can I eat GelGems TM? GelGems TM are completely non-toxic, and they will not harm you if
you eat them. But, we don't recommend eating GelGems TM because
they
just don't taste good. And very small children, under 5 years of age,
could
choke on GelGems TM if they tried to swallow them. So please, don't
let anyone under age 5 play with GelGems TM.
How long will my GelGems TM last? GelGems TM can be reused over and over. If they get dirty,
you can wash them in warm water to make them as good as new.
Over time, GelGems TM that are handled a lot may begin
to lose their brightness. Also, since they are made of gel,
please take care not to rip or tear the pieces.
