I need to find some silver holographic glitter for adding to Candy Apple Red Transparent powder paint. I have only found one place to get it and their price is okay but shipping is pretty high for a single item.
Anyone has a resource for it other than do-it molds?
Been using JoAnn's with success. Kids glitter. Can get you specific bottle style if needed. That is candy raspberry with gold flake. Have the holographic also with others.....you will need to add more holographic to the mix to get the same results. This pic is from earlier this month.

I've bought this Tree House Studio Laser & Holographic Ultra Fine Glitter Pack | Shop Hobby Lobby at Hobby Lobby. It's good stuff.
I would have to see it before I wuold consider trying it. I am not using it for myself, yet, so I need to make sure it is a good holographic and will mix well with the Candy red from CSI paint.
Does it give off a good full color spectrum glint like the holographic stuff I have used in the past? I guess it is called the disco ball effect by some.
Plateboater, what is the exact name of it so I can look at online?
Sterling extra fine glitter
Some consider iridescent and holgraphic pretty close to each other. I use iridescent silver myself that I get at AC Moore [IMG]http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/c...2/100_4709.jpg[/IMG]
This stuff is from Nicole Crafts
X2 though with plate it takes a bunch. Might be alot easier to just coat the head with the candy color then dip in a clear/glitter mix. If you add the glitter straight to the candy you'll need to add some clear and that could mess with the candy color.
I have Copper Head Powder paint and it looks great with the glitter in the paint. Might be that the CSI glitter isn't so fine that it shows better but I don't know. The CAR might be different and not show the glitter as well but again, I don't know yet. I do know I don't like the glitter on the top. Too rough and I would be worried about it fraying my line with the sharp edges. I hope that once I get a glitter it will show through the CAR as well as it does the copper head.
I can't find that glitter online Fatman, you have a link or do you buy it retail? Unfortunately I don't have anything even close to a craft store localy.
And has anoyone heard of Diamond dust glitter? That would work also.
JoAnnes Fabrics used to carry it in their brand, but they've changed suppliers so you might have trouble finding it. I have it in Blue, Pink and crystal diamond. It really isn't all that great. Do you have a jig that your trying to copy??? if so can you post a pic, might be eaier to help
Not trying to copy one unfortunately. Painting for a trade. Looks like I will just either order from Do-it-molds or try and buy it direct fro CSI.
You can get some at TJ's Tackle he carries it if you absolutely need to go that route - but as plate said you'll have to watch how much you put in so you don't end up with a bumpy head - may have to add some clear or do a two dip
Welcome to TJ's Tackle
If you buy from Do-IT or CS you'll pay more - I have some sites at home I'll post some when I get home tonight.
JoAnne's is having a sale on glitter online so go through and there are some nice holo's in there. glitter*: Shop | Joann.com
How do you know which ones are safe to use with powder paint? I like the prices of Joanns, which size would be close to CSI glitter? I think the fine would be but guessing. If it is safe for PP then I will definately get that and maybe get some medium too for my own stuff. I have some spoons to paint and that might works really well.
It is a gamble......just my thought. I am cooking at 375 with CC brand paint as instructions indicate. Try the extra fine over med unless you are looking into bass lures is my thoughts. Also I just picked up another brand from Hobby Lobby last night. Will keep you posted on the RnD. Been recently playing with super fine mica to tap brush a coating. Purchased at Hobby Lobby.
Fish - I learned all that I know of glitter from the folks here and other boards and you have truthfully the same questions that myself and others had when we first started. With all the stuff folks have tried I don't think it's a gamble anymore.
I have glitter from Michaels, JoAnnes, Hobby Lobby (only when I'm home near Buffalo), AC Moore, WalMart and Kmart. They include Creatix, Nicole Crafts, Tulip, WOW, JoAnnes own brand and whatever brand the stuff is from WalMart and Kmart. I believe it was Rad or Cadman that told me that CS glitter was fine. I prefer fine and extra fine (the Nicoles stuff is labled as Ultra) All of it works!!! You can check with the Plastics guys as there stuff works too - they may find it in larger quantities that what we get at the stores. Now most of my jigs are 1/16th or less, any that I do up to 1/8 I use the fine/extra fine, depends on how big you want the glitter size to show on the head.
I cure at 330 for 25 mins. if I'm doing 2-3 racks and 330 for 30 mins. for 4-6 racks, and have never had a problem with any of it. I do find that adding clear helps, until I learned that lesson I had a few bumpy ones.
If you buy clear - get it by the pound you'll be surprised how much you'll use!!!!!!! I've used clear from Orbit, Columbia, CS and Rosy's. It's all good stuff, haven't found one yet that doesn't work with any powder or glitter.
If you really want to get into the powder - check out the pack the Rosy's put together for fisherman!!! If I didn't have most of the colors already I'd get it!!!
Almost all the paint I have is from Roseys back when she was doing auctions mostly. I will have to get ahold of her again and see if she remembers me. I asked her enough questions she should, lol.
That sample pack is tempting.
That is where I got the Candy Apple red I am going to be adding the glitter to. Maybe I can convince her to carry glitter.
Post a copy of your Candy Apple red, I'd like to see how close it is to ruby slipper from CS. If it's really close Pepop made up some from colors he got from Rosys. Alot of people are switching to the auto powders and mixing is taking off.
CS has a few colors I havnt been able to match from CC, Rosys, and others but you get all us fisherman buying everything but their powder the price would come down, although I'm liking the non CS stuff better

That is the best I can get for an image. Hope it helps. I think that the holographic glitter should show through it even when mixed but I may be wrong. All I can do is get some and find out if I am going to have it easy or if I will have to paint, cure and paint again in a clear coat with the glitter.
And I agree with lking the non CSI PP better. I have never had an issue with anything from Roseys not coating properly and I get a much better coating when dipping in a container with Roseys than dipping in the CSI jars. I do prefer a fluid bed and even with them I get a better coat from Roseys.
fish - get yourself a separate jar and take a teaspoon of your candy color and and 1/8th teaspoon of glitter and shake it real well and dip a head - if not enough glitter shows add some more until you get it the way you want.
IF - it doesn work the way you want - make a mix of clear and glitter, dip your head color re-heat the head and dip in the clear and glitter.
I ordered from tjs tackle. CSI I had to order a pound and I have no use for that much glitter of any color. 4 ounces should be more than enough for what I need to paint in the CART and for adding to my copper transparent and anything else for a while.
I will post pics when I get it sometime next week.
New to making jigs so I have aquestion. What do you mean by fluid bed? :fish
A fluid bed is a tube or box that has an air permeable membrane on the bottom. This is then inserted into a larger tube or box with an air tight fit. An air pump is then conected to the bottom container. Air is puped in to create pressure that then flows through the permeable membrane and aireates the powder coating.

That should give you an idea and explain what I missed or scrambled into something incomprehensible.
You can google fluid bed also....I have went with 3" TJ Tackle. Fluid beds help for sure
