PRECIOSA Bugles or PRECIOSA Bugle Beads.

Slight deviations in colors and sizes to be tolerated.

Directions for Use

Specific properties of the product need to be understood:
Bugles should be kept away from small children (danger of swallowing and/or inhalation).
Cosmetics
Ordinary cosmetics do not effect the glass and surface treatment. The surface layer does not dissolve. Neither the glass nor the surface treatment chemically interacts with fabrics or the skin.
Perspiration
When used for usual decorative purposes, Bugles are not negatively effected by perspiration. The surface treatment remains stable.
Dry Cleaning
Clothing decorated with Bugles can be dry cleaned using common commercial dry cleaning solutions (non-polar organic solvents). Both the glass and the surface treatment will remain uneffected.
Washing
Hand wash only.

Storage
The shelf life of Bugles will increase when stored in a dry and dark place.
Color Fastness
Bugles are color fast when stored in a dry and dark place. When used for common garment and jewelry applications Bugles maintain the same color. The color fastness has been tested according to the European CSN EN ISO 105-B02 Standard.
Wear
Bugles and the surface treatments are wear resistant. Excessive friction can result in high wear and partial loss of the surface finish. The above properties will hold as long as Bugles are not subjected to aggressive chemicals which would interact with glass or surface treatment. Inside and outside coated Bugles should be handled with extra care. If holes are scratched beads will gradually change or loose color.
