Good to Know
'Glitter' Varies
Glitter density can vary, but is typically fairly consistent.Warped Sheets
These sheets are warped/curved; this is usually only noticeable in larger end products e.g. 100mm+.Imperfect Manufacture
Sometimes the surface isn't completely smooth (such as it may have a ripple or 'dent' caused by the glitter pieces). This is 'normal' for this material, and is most visible when the finish of the material is captured in the light. This material also often arrives to us with some light scuffs and marks. We don't use parts of the material that have deep scratches, but be aware that the surface isn't always completely smooth.*Mostly* Black Backing
The back is of all shards is black, but sometimes the glitter does come through.Recommended Uses
- Is an ideal substitute for Chunky Glitter Acrylic as earrings toppers are there's no issues with clear patches.
- Ideal for plain (no engraving), simple shapes where the design emphasises the material e.g. circles, hearts, droplets.
- Can look stunning when used in combination with solid acrylic as a 'highlight' in multi-piece designs.
More Information
- Cuts well and leaves a clean, smooth edge line that typically shows the glitter cross section on the sides.
- Engraves well and can hold fine details (engraved areas typically have a frosted white appearance). Engraving looks most effective on darker colours (so that it will show contrast), or when used for paint filling.
- Comes with a protective tape coating that will need to be peeled off.
- It is difficult to capture colour correctly; allow for slight variation from monitor to reality.
