stiffening metallic thread

What do you use to stiffen metallic thread without losing the luster? I've tried spray and liquid starch as well as a watered down glue. Is there a special product any one has heard of ?

‹ what kind of stitch do I have? Is crocheting an addiction??? ›

Interesting question. I hadn't realized there would be a problem.

Maybe...use a sugar solution? That is not-so-commonly used to stiffen thread work. It might dry more clear.

Or use a clear wood finish of some sort, like varnish, shellac, or whatever water-based finish has replaced them. I'd try it on a swatch first, for sure.
