How long does it take for the suncatcher to dry completely?

Drying can vary with humidity and temperature, but typically expect it to take at least 3-4 hours. For best results, leave it overnight.

Can I use regular food coloring instead of neon?

Yes, but the final effect might be less vibrant. Neon food coloring provides a brighter outcome that really shines through the sunlight.

Are there other materials I can use?

Certainly! Instead of glitter, you could use sequins or small beads for added texture.
