Title: Newbie question
Post by: Out Fishing on October 02, 2011, 09:40:45 AM

I would like to put sparkles on my lures.  Question is:  Do I put sparkles on top of wet clear coat or on top of wet paint then clear coat over sparkles?  Thanks..

hay welcome to the site tony.........well here's what i do........mix your epoxy to blend the two parts......then add the fine glitter to your epoxy mix.........a little is all that is needed.......if you use to much the glitter will over power the paint.......figure about 1/8 dot  to @ 2ml.........i use flexcoat high build or lite build...... i use a syringe and draw up 2ml of resin and then 2ml of hardner.......1/1 ... mix it well  about 3min or until the mix is clear.......than i add the fine glitter  1/8 dot.................good luck :)

If your talking about the larger flake then sprinkle it over a wet surface. If you coat over it then it tends to lose some sparkle.
