    I am pretty sure its the same size that you use, I just uses more and the flat head shows more. If you look at the edges of it they are tiny!

    Roger, (Radtexan) that's the way I do it, too. Seems to paint a lot more uniform and gives a deeper look. Crappiehappy's have that deep look, too.

    Rad I have not tried mixing any paint in with the clear. Are you painting the head with regular paint first or are you just using clear with paint and glitter? I am
    Not sure what you are doing, but would like to try it at least!

    As close as I get to glitter is ruby slipper and sapphire blue. Both are well liked.

    Well at least I can see better on my computer, I was watching that boring football game and posting with my iPhone so hard to see stuff well like that.

    WHat a poor effort by LSU. For the life of me I don't know why that coach left that QB in there that was clearly out of sync so bad he took all the energy out of his team.

    Yes I do it all in one step.I mix about somewhere between a 5-1 to 10-1 ratio of clear to paint,and add my glitter into the mix,paint it all together.It gives a much more even coating of glitter,makes the paint look more candy,and shines...

    Thanks Rad I will try that. The only difference is I dip the paint separate and then right into the clear with glitter and then cure. Still comes out shiny and smooth, but I want to see what effect your way gives the look for sure. I like that idea and it's interesting. I like trying new stuff and probably what I have so darn much stuff I never get to use it all. My worst thing is I will buy some materials I have never used and that stuff may sit here for months before I do something with it. Too muck procrastination here.

    Thanks again,
