What is used to create a "wet look" on silk flowers?

I purchased some silk flowers that had fake %26quot;water droplets%26quot; on them. They were beautiful! Store personnel were unable to tell me how it was done.

What is used to create a %26quot;wet look%26quot; on silk flowers?
Hot glue gun yes, to form the droplets you need to let your gun heat at least 15 minutes. The hotter the glue, the clearer and more uniform the droplets.
Reply:They do use hot-glue guns to make the fake water droplets on the flowers...however, I believe they need to use low-melting point glue so as not to burn/melt the synthetic flower.
Reply:Try using a toothpick or needle to move the hot glue when it is still hot and take off the %26quot;peaks%26quot;.
Reply:I%26#039;m not too sure, but I think maybe they might use a hot glue gun to make the droplets.
Reply:I agree that it%26#039;s done with a hot glue gun. That%26#039;s what I always thought.
