Product Information

Get your container ready, bottle or cup. I recommend using your final container you intend to permanently store the medium in, or a cup if your going to mix pigment in straight away. For the first half try to squeeze out as much as possible before it all clogs up. After the first half of volume is squeezed out it will get harder, but you'll be able to keep going until you've moved about 3/4-4/5ths of the liquid out.

Hands-On Expertise & Collective Knowledge: Our team boasts extensive DIY experience and in-depth knowledge. While Benjamin Moore does not manufacture glitter paint, we believe that the foundation for any decorative project—especially a glitter wall—begins with an interior paint basecoat. The glitter flakes are designed to mix with matt and silk emulsions but won’t mix well with speciality paints even if water-based. As such, the product is not quite suitable to use in the bathroom or kitchen. Gloss and eggshell paints also don’t mix well with this glitter. Keep stirring the product throughout the process to prevent the formation of patches. Leave the first coat to dry before adding another coat if needed. Hemway Silver Holographic Additive is the low-cost alternative to V1rtus, a glitter additive brand belonging to the same manufacturer. The main difference between the products is the price, but also the covering power. In fact, the additive produced under Hemway’s brand has a recommended mix ratio of 100g to 1 litre of paint.Choosing one product over the other is often a matter of preference; we prefer glitter additives because they can be mixed with the paint of your choice and are more cost-effective than glaze. Mixing the product with a smaller quantity of paint enhances the sparkling effect. If desired, you can tone down the shimmer by mixing the additive with a larger quantity of paint. use a large roller. I’ve painted this on using a brush, small roller, and large regular roller. The large regular roller has the most even application.

Whether you decide to use glitter additives or glaze, we still recommend painting the surface in the desired colour and finish with one or two coats of glitter paint or glaze. Surface preparation is therefore minimal. Recently, after weeks upon weeks of investigation (like 5 weeks maybe) ive at last solved a huge personal problem.I used two coats of the glitter, but Rustoleum suggests 3-4 coats. If I do that, I’ll need 40 cans for my project (15x25 ft room) and that feels ridiculous and expensive.

A beautiful base color will maximize the design effect of glitter, so be sure to use a premium line of paint that delivers quality results, like ben ® Interior paint. Choosing a premium basecoat/paint color ensures the beauty you are looking for in your glitter wall project.Water-based and non-toxic, the glaze is suitable to use in poorly ventilated environments or in your children’s room. Application is easy and straightforward; just stir the glaze and apply it with a smooth roller or wide bristles brush, depending on the surface. Glitter additives are supplied as glitter crystals to mix with the emulsion of your choice. Some additives can be mixed in all types of paint, others are compatible only with water-based emulsions, while others are incompatible with speciality paints, even if water-based.

For a sparkling effect, it may also be necessary to buff the wall when the paint is dry. This step enhances the effect of all glitter products, but it does take more time. Glitter additives and glitter glazes are designed for the same purpose – to add sparkles to walls and other interior surfaces. The difference is in the way they’re used. glitter! the "pigment" in glitter paint isn't >300um talcum stuff, its <1mm particles, easily filtered with a broad filter. Recommended for use with water-based wall and ceiling emulsions, this additive is compatible with most interior paints. This makes it ideal to use with wall, wood and metal paints for a host of DIY projects.Unbuffed, a pouch of additive is suitable for up to 1.5L of paint. However, considering the price of a pouch, we recommend mixing the quantity with 2.5L of paint and buffing the wall with buffing pads to unleash your new sparkling effect. Industry Connections: We maintain close ties with manufacturers and brands, offering insights into trends and upcoming products. I found out immediately one of the key benefits of this pure acrylic polymer ( as its referred to in this state ), when mixing it into thermochromic pigment, a light fluffy and hydrophobic pigment (repells water like oil), this stuff, unlike normal gloss or matte mediums requires no machine mixing, it took in the pigment as if it were a polar solvent that "wets" the powder instead of just slowly blending in and gradually forming a suspension. Hemway Clear Glitter Glaze provides the perfect solution for those who want sparkling walls without the fuss of mixing glitter additives with emulsions. The clear glaze is suitable to use on walls of any colour while you can choose your favourite hue of glitter from 35 available options.
