While the glitter particles themselves are durable and waterproof, this specific product is primarily designed for interior surfaces. For exterior use, please consult Hemway's range of exterior-specific glitter additives.
The recommended ratio is 100g of glitter per 1 litre of paint, varnish, or lacquer. Using more or less may affect the density and appearance of the sparkle.
The glitter additive is designed to add sparkle without significantly altering the original finish of the paint (e.g., matt, silk). However, the physical presence of the chunky flakes may create a slightly textured feel.
Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the glitter or paint.
Yes, you can mix different Hemway glitter colors together to create custom effects. Ensure they are mixed thoroughly for an even blend.
The glitter is designed for decorative purposes and is generally safe when mixed into paint. However, ensure adequate ventilation during painting and avoid direct ingestion.
The weight of one packet is approximately 0.220462262 Pounds (or 100 grams).
Ensure the glitter is thoroughly mixed into the paint before application. Stir the paint mixture periodically during application to prevent the glitter from settling at the bottom of the paint can.
The appearance of glitter can vary with lighting. Ensure the area is well-lit. For an enhanced sparkle, use Hemway's recommended buffing pads on the dried paint surface.
Ensure the paint or coating is suitable for the glitter additive and that the mixing ratio is followed. For best results, use premium quality paints and stir consistently.
Setup: To use the Hemway Glitter Additive, first ensure you have your chosen paint (emulsion, acrylic, or latex – matt, silk, sheen, or flat), varnish, or lacquer ready. Open the packet of glitter and carefully measure 100g for every 1 litre of paint or coating you are using. Add the glitter to the paint and stir thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of the glitter particles throughout the mixture. It is recommended to stir periodically during application to prevent settling.
Compatibility: This glitter additive is compatible with most standard interior emulsion, acrylic, and latex paints, regardless of their finish (matt, sheen, silk, flat). It can also be added to varnishes and lacquers.
Care: Once your surface is painted and the glitter additive is applied, the finish is designed for durability. The glitter particles are UV, heat, solvent, and fade-resistant, as well as waterproof. For cleaning the painted surface, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust or light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could dislodge the glitter particles.
