How long will the glow last?

The duration of the glow depends on the brightness and type of light used. Glow sticks typically glow for a few hours, while LED lights can last much longer, making them a great option for extended use.

Can I use different colors of glitter?

Absolutely! Using different colored glitters can beautify your jar and create more vibrant effects. Just keep in mind that mixing colors may change the overall appearance.

What should I do if my water becomes cloudy?

If your water becomes cloudy over time, it could be due to the gel separating. You can gently shake the jar to mix it again but avoid overdoing it to prevent mixing the contents too much.
