Coley Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I was trying to find out if I could put glitter scales on a lure using scale material, spray glue and extra fine glitter. What a surprise I had. I took a wooden dowel and put several coats of flat black Krylon. I let that dry for overnight. I wrapped the scale netting around the dowel and sprayed it with Duro all-purpose spray adhesive. I Immediateily removed the netting and applied the glitter. What a mess!!! I banged the dowel against the work bench to try and remove excess glitter, but to no avail. As I started to throw the dowel away I wiped it with a dry rag and bingo I had the most beautiful chrome scales you could imagine. What must of taken place was a reaction between the glitter material and the chemicals in the glue. And all was very dry. I attached a pic of the dowel and the pic doesn't do justice to the chrome looking scales. They reflect so much light in the sun you will have to look away, believe me.

Big Splash Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Neat! are the pieces of glitter still on there, or did they leave behind the chrome, or are the glitter pieces melted on the dowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted September 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Well, under a large magnifying glass it looks like each one of those tiny dots has 45 to 50 pieces of fine glitter on them. But, to the naked eye it looks like one solid spot. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsac Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Coley, that looks great! You might even try that same idea for eyes. Use the glitter for the backing and then put a black dot in the middle? You could use different colored glitter for the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
