Question
Hi Mike, I need to dehydrate my daughters bridal flowers and then frame them. I know I have seen this done with a crystal substance found I thought in craft stores but I am having trouble locating such a product. I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance for any efforts. Barb Leger

Answer
Not having any craft experience whatsoever makes this a tough question for me to answer.  I did find a couple of links to folks who obviously know more than I do.  Here they are.
