polyflake due to the heat. Same glitter in plastic worms, boats ect.
Check bears, mf, Im sure there are some site sponsors that have it here. Heat/time depends on the color of powder
dont use cheap plastic glitter from the hobby store, polyflake is made from aluminum.
Here's what I use:Extra Fine Glitter - 1oz Lure Parts Online
As far as how much, you just have to add a little and mix well til you get what you're looking for. As a rule, the glitter goes a long way. I take the fire opal, mix less than 1/4 bottle in a 2oz jar of clear powder paint and get an awesome shad/minnow colored head. That mixture also makes a great base to apply the transparent "candy" powder paint over.
Remember you can always add more, so to start.....less is best.
