Glitter, who's got what??
« on: January 31, 2013, 11:31:05 AM »
I have customers requesting glitter, not metallic but big flake glitter.  Specifically we're looking for a Red glitter.  Any information would be helpful:  Suppliers, Brands, Mesh, etc...

holographic from Union. we run it through 24 mesh and it looks pretty good. Not as nice as some of the cad cut stuff, but pretty nice!

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

24 mesh?  Isn't that coarser than screen in a screen door?

We use Meadobrook also. Just buy the glitter and use Wilflex Nova Base. Looks like dry glitter when cured. I also tell my wife as soon as I get home that I was printing glitter today, so there are NO questions. Just saying.
