I add my glitter while my mixer is running. A little glitter goes a long way.

Like Randy said, and the fine glitter looks really good on rods with any sparkle in the rod finish, such as the St. Croix flip finish.

Saw a video put out by Flexcoat on using iridescent crystals on crank baits I would like to try them in the finish epoxy on a rod some time. I think it would really look nice.

Glitter, yeah! We just shot a new video on the subject. The video focuses on lures, but the process is the same.

John, what colors do you have available? I would probably want an oz each of several colors to try it out.

Thanks
