Adding glitter in processing
Adding glitter in processing is a common procedure to give a shiny and decorative effect to various materials. Specifically, adding glitter can be done by mixing glitter particles with epoxy or polyurethane resins to create glossy and sparkling coatings. This technique is widely used in the artistic and decorative coatings industry, as well as in the DIY sector to personalize objects and surfaces. It is important to carefully follow safety instructions during the processing to ensure optimal and safe results.
