woodsac Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 CJ, a couple weeks ago I tried to use a food chopper (similar to the picture) with no luck. It didn't cut the glitter at all! It just made little marks on it where it tried to cut it. I don't know if it's because the glitter is too tough or because it's too flat? The blades on this thing are super sharp! Conclusion: Food Chopper- Good for food Bad for glitter Try a mill or something electric and let us know how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimrod Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Check your local craft stores. I've picked up "micro-fine" glitter in the kids craft isle(s). This is more dust then it is glitter. Takes quite a bit when mixing w/top coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I used to buy super fine glitter from Jann's Netcraft that I used in my clear coat for wooden poppers. It went through my airbrush no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Food Chopper- Good for food Bad for glitter That's too funny Jake. The only problem I've had with ultra fine glitter is breathing the stuff. If you're not careful, it can easily become "airborn". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 My supplier has powder in .004 and .006. I usually carry .008, which is pretty fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Frank any chance in getting the finest stuff in hologram maybe even gold and green? I may be interested if the price is fair. Which reminds me i need to order from you. I plan on using this in my trout baits more than in my topcoats hoever ill go to craft store and grab some to test on my jigging spoons.. Thanks for all info. And jake, i think a food processor or gringer would cut better than the hand chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickemslew Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 polyester glitter is coated for a reason, to take heat. glitter comes in sheets of "epoxy" coated glitter when it is cut it leaves a uncoated edge where the cut is made. square - 4 sides , hex 6 six sides. that why we all have problem with bleeding, curling and melting. so if you cut it up into smaller pieces there will be even more uncoated glitter, with more problems.............so if you like problems with glitter keep cuttin.. the smallest silver hologram i have ran across is .004 x ? "hell small". like sand. i have about 2 ounces left if you need it just (im) me sometime. hope this will help you guys with glitter problems. you might buy glitter one time dont mean it will work the next time........hand poured worme 4 ya. good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 CJ, the .008 hologram is a fine powder. I have a pound in that size and also in .015. In fact, of the 22 colors I carry, only a few odd colors don't come in .008. FrankM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
