glitter?

What type(metal, polyester,etc ) and size glitter is needed to add to pro-tech glitter coat powder paint to get a real heavy coat of glitter on my crappie lead heads? I do not want to use a white primer coat before adding the color coat. I am wanting a really heavy coat of glitter before adding color coat. Also, where can it be purchased ? All help is greatly appreciated!

You can use any type of glitter you want - I get mine from JoAnne's fabrics, Hobby Lobby, Ac Moores, michaels, Walmart!!! Just realize if you get to heavy of a coat it's really bumpy. I'd take half your jar and put it in a zip bag, then dump whatever glitter you want in the jar. The glitter coats are just that - clear with glitter.

I actually bought pounds of glitter, but don't use is all that much. I mean sometimes I get ask for glitter, but not as mush as I thought it would be. Bet I have 6 or more different colors and a pound of each that I bought from CSI (Pro-Tech). I will end up selling a good bit of it on ebay since I don't think I will ever use that much. Guys use all kind like Fatman said and I even had some I bought from craft stores, but in the end I wanted what CSI had as well as their colors. I buy paint the same way.
I am with Fatman about using much make the head rough as heck, which I have seen some heads like that and didn't care for them enough to try them and they still sit in my tying room, but that is just me.

Hey ljerkum, I sent you a PM.

Ijerkum,
Holographic glitter from hobby lobby in the micro size works great. Mica powder seems to be a popular choice also. You can create really crazy looks with either.
For a base coat, Just mix the glitter in with clear, heat your head at a low temp and apply. While its still warm either go back into a plain clear or a candy and
Reheat. You can make the glitter as heavy as you want or as subtle as you want. With this method you won't get a rough head and you can cure the head without burning off your glitter.
Hard to capture the glitter on my phone, but you can see it some.
