Thread: Micro Glitter

VA

I start out with 2 tablespoons of clear - I have clear from ProTec, Rosys, Orbit and Columbia Coatings it all works well. Then I put in 2 teaspoons of glitter and shake it up really well. Heat a head and do a test dip and see if it comes out the way you want. If you want more glitter add by 1/8th of a teaspoon, if you get more glitter than the clear will disperse you'll get a lumpy head just add more clear.

It's a lot of test mixing till you get what you want but learn this valuable lesson WRITE EVERYTHING YOU DO DOWN!!!!! take it from dumb bell here. I have this really nice mix I made up and I never wrote it down and can't remember how to make it. Everything gets written on the paint cup cap when I get it where I want it.

Well I finally found who distributes the NicolesCraft glitter - Sbar's Inc. apparently bought them and is the distributor for for it and I gotta tell you they have some colors in it that I REALLY WANT!!! I have an email into them asking who besides AC Moore (local store I get mine at now) carries it.

I'll let you know when I receive an answer.

They have some super hot colors in there. From what I can gather from the site a person has to have a business account with them to order and to get pricing.

Yeah pretty much!! When they were first re-designing the site you were supposed to be able to find everything and you can't

Candy Paints | Pearl Paint | Thermochromic Paint | Metal Flake.
This is where I get my micro glitter. It is a true 0.004 size and used in automotive paint mostly but is very good in powder paint.

I have a couple of the pearls from PWP. It does double duty, being used in both plastic and powder paint.
