Wheel C14: Dead Thermals

Today's Nail Wheel Wednesday is a lesson in what happens to thermals when one waits too long to use them: they turn into non-thermals and one has to hope that the state they got stuck in is pleasing.
 

Above is at room temperature (so, cool, since it's Idaho in winter). Below is after being run under hot water. Number 3 shows a slight change, but the rest are unmoved by being warmed up. Oh well. These things happen, and most (all?) of these are five to ten years old.

    At least a lot of them look pretty. I have some untried and unblogged thermals, better dig them out and try them. I do find running under hot water for a few minutes helps the change if it is slow.

      I might have to soak this whole wheel in hot water for a while to see if anything different happens. As old as these are, I'm not hopeful. :D

    I have Fresh Paint Mood #18 from Five Below. I should use it up before it goes bad! The swatches are very pretty though. I hope Ananka's hack works :D x

      Mari, yes best to try it sooner rather than later, I think.

    That's the reason I don't buy many thermals. At least lots of these ended up in a pretty colour state :)

Thank you for reading and commenting! I greatly appreciate knowing I'm not just talking to myself here. :) I'm moderating most comments now due to the spate of spammers who claim to be looking for sexy times.
