Crystal Glitter for Emulsion Paint, Diamond Silver with Holographic Crystals

Description

What is buffing? Buffing is the quick and simple process of lightly rubbing a green nylon scourer (included with purchace) over the dry painted surface, this will release thousands more holograghic crystals that are just waiting to break out. In most cases this will increase glitter coverage from 1% to 5% ! Can I use any type of emulsion paint? Generally yes, any standard emulsion: dead flat, matt, soft sheen & silk all work well, but try to avoid 'one coat', kitchen & bathroom, endurance, durable and acrlylic eggshells. So how does this product work, because I have tried adding various types of glitter to paint without success? Quite simple, the Crystal Glitter mix is coated with a PTFE type coating on one side, this coating actually trys to reject the paint film, hence why you always get some glitter showing on the surface. In addition, this is why the quick buffing process will release so many holographic crystals. Are PTFE type coatings safe? Yes, they are used in many non-stick coatings for pots and pans eg.Teflon. In addition, they are used for coating some medical equipment because bacteria find it hard to adhere. We all know how the Crystal Glitter rainbow effect works, right? So, it reflects light and the holographic crystals diffract the available white light, splitting it into a colour spectrum, that's why we can see the rainbow of different colours. So to summarise: Lighting can make a huge difference to how your project will finally look.
