Glitter question

Post by PutzinVT »

Hello All:

I'm working on a new repro.

Was wondering if anyone has worked with glitter.

I don't have a good working knowledge of glitter sizes.

One seller has glitter in 100, 90,80 and 70 grit.

The black flecks of glitter seem to be pretty small.

I'm thinking 90 grit would be the right one.

Any thoughts,

Steve

Steve...

If you are talking about "German glass glitter" from Meyer Imports...(probably the premier vendor of German glass glitter)...i found a description by grit size a few pages down in their catalog which you can download and print or read via a PDF..https://www.meyer-imports.com/blog/free ... -downloads

i tried to copy the info so i could post it here but i couldn't get it to copy...at one time Meyer sold a sample card of grit sizes so you could touch and feel the different grits...not sure if they still have that available...

Hi Steve

I have Meyers imports German glass glitter in 70, 80, and 90 grit size.

I will take a pic so you can get an idea of the size. Please give me a day or two.
