Sinking Glitter

[filthyfisherman]

I bought glitter from delmart cause the other glitter I had melted.. I have matched Yamamoto's Chartuse with chart and green glitter prefectly which was my goal.. But when I heat the plastic and mix it well and start pouring,, the glitter goes striaght to the bottom and doesn't really get into the mold well.. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.. It hasn't happened before.. I think the metallic glitter is too heavy??? I don't know what the problem is... When it does mix well the color is awsome!!!!

Your plastic is way to hot, let it cool a little bit for you drop the glitter in it. or keep stiring until it stays suspended.

secret is.......STIR, STIR, STIR!!!!......i have found the glitter distributes nicely when you give it a nice vigorous stir right before you pour.

Also consider pouring with your plastic not as hot. The flake will fall slower and give you more even distribution in the mold... Stirring is key. You can also give your pyrex cup a swirl and the flake will disperse well...

After you do all of the things mentioned above, stir it again!!!
