Driftwood Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I always add after heating. Some glitter is not very heat tolerant and will bleed into the plastisol. If you are using glitter from a craft store it is probably plastic and will melt along with the plastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either your plastic is too hot or it's low quality glitter. As mentioned, stay away from craft store stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I always add glitter after heating. In fact, on a new batch of plastic I'll take it up to 350, add my colorant and then wait for it to get down to 325 - 330 or so before I add glitter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
