jigman Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I poured today using jumbo black square glitter.About half of it curled.Is this normal for all jumbo flake colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 If you get your glitter from Senko Sam, Lure Craft, or MF, you shouldn't have this problem unless you're not mixing properly and/or pouring with extreme heat. All others that I've tried have curled and burned on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigman Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I use LC & M-F but the glitter is still curling. I don't add the glitter until after the plastic is cooked.Is there a proper way to add the glitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 While it is possible you have some "bad" flake, probably the temperature of your plastic is curling your flake. I have large black from LC, M-F and Senkosam and use much of it every night. I don't have a problem with it curling at all when the temperature is 300-320 degrees. I add my flake as you suggested, after you have heated your plastic up and are close to pouring. All that being said, I did receive some silver flake from LC a long while ago that curled when it hit the plastic. When talking with Kim from LC, I learned that most of the flake comes from the same source so it is possible both batches are bad. I would check the temp of my plastic first though....
