Troubleshooting
Uneven Glitter Distribution
Ensure even coverage by using a foam roller or brush, and avoid applying too much product at once. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
Glitter Not Visible Enough
Apply additional coats of the glitter glaze to build up the shimmer effect. The more coats you apply, the more intense the glitter will be.
Paint is Clumping or Dripping
Make sure you are not applying too much product to the roller or brush. Use a piece of cardboard to remove any excess product before applying to the surface. Ensure the base coat is fully dry before applying the glaze.
