Glitter Blast Diamond Dust

Winter frost in a can. So pretty and glittery, makes what you make seem magical. Now for the pros and cons: PROS: Covers what you spray in a fine opalescent translucent glitter Easy and convenient to use (if instructions are closely followed) Dries quickly and nonsticky to the touch Adds a magical frostty appearance to your creative projects difficult to achieve with glue and glitter Can use what you need without wasting product CONS,: Nozzle tends to clog, resulting in uneven, clumpy spraying. It can eventually clog to the point where it will no longer spray. My solution to this has been to remove the nozzle, soak in mineral spirits, rinse thoroughly in hot water and then reattach. As with all Krylon spray products, tends to sputter and spray unevenly. Make sure you shake the can for at least 2 minutes, spray in sweeping strokes, and don't use outside when temperature is below 40° F. Also, store inside temperature controlled environment. Will not cover opaquely, if that's your goal. Can be messy. Make sure you cover surrounding areas well, as overspray is normal, and wear thin plastic gloves. Product is expensive, ad you may need several cans for a larger project

If you're looking for a way to add glitter to a cardmaking project, this stuff is amazing. Be aware though, you can't easily stamp over this, because it is actually glitter and adds a granular texture to the paper when dry. I wanted to use it on a stamped background and stamp the main motif and sentiment on top of it, and I did manage to do that after several tries, I used hybrid ink for best results, and had to use a very juicy inkpad and a lot of pressure. My first couple of tries with Distress Inks were not as successful. The spray seems cloudy when first applied, and on darker backgrounds does add a slightly hazy appearance, but on lighter backgrounds it's very pretty. I used it on a light blue and a medium/dark blue and both turned out very pretty, but the light blue was nicer. The glitter is VERY sparkly and catches the light nicely. The spray is quite smelly and messy, so make sure you spray it outside and I'd advise using newspapers to catch the overspray, my deck is now somewhat glittery. =) The example photos show a piece of Crane's Lettra Pearl White cardstock inked all over with Distress Inks "Broken China" then sprayed with Krylon Glitter Blast, dog and sentiment stamped with Distress Inks "Tumbled Glass" (stamped with a LOT of pressure). I took one photo outdoors with flash, the second photo is indoors with flash.

I wish I had read the countless warnings before using Krylon Glitter Blast. This product is not a craft supply; it's a can of pure, unadulterated frustration wrapped in a promise of sparkle. What should have been a fun weekend project turned into a multi-day battle with a defective product, a ruined piece of furniture, and a glitter-covered garage. 3. The Glitter Fallout Even after successfully getting a coat down and letting it dry for over 24 hours, the job isn't finished. Sheds Everywhere: The glitter does not adhere permanently. Merely touching the finished project leaves a trail of glitter on your hands, clothes, and eventually, the entire house. It’s like a cheap toy that never stops shedding. You are then forced to buy the separate "Glitter Blast Sealer" (another $10 expense) just to lock down the expensive paint you already bought. Do not waste your money, your time, or your patience. Buy a high-quality glue, a jar of bulk glitter, and a can of clear lacquer. It will be cheaper, less frustrating, and produce a far superior, more reliable result than this severely flawed product.

I’m obsessed with this glitter spray paint! It goes on smoothly and delivers a gorgeous, even sparkle that really catches the light. Whether I’m using it on wood, plastic, or metal, the finish is vibrant and lasts without flaking or dulling. The spray nozzle works perfectly for controlled application, and the paint dries fairly quickly, which makes crafting a breeze. It’s perfect for adding that extra wow factor to DIY projects, party decorations, or even furniture accents. Cleanup was easy, and the coverage is great—just a few light coats for a brilliant glittery effect. If you want to add some sparkle and glam to your projects without the mess of loose glitter, this spray paint is a total winner! Highly recommend for crafters and decorators alike!

I used this product to freshen a 10-year-old a beloved, outdoor wreath which was sunbleached and tired-looking. My goal was to have something which looked like it was glistening in the snow and would be suitable for an exterior door. Given the cost of a replacement wreath, I felt that it was worth the risk to give it a try. The glitter is fine, and the effect is subtle. It's exactly what I wanted & hoped for with this product. I used a number of coats, spraying lightly and evenly, allowing it to dry between applications until I used up the product. I shook the product well, and I did not have problems with clogging. My only concern is the staying power of the glitter, which is the reason for 4 stars rather than 5. I don't want to bother with a sealer but I believe it would be necessary for some applications. Per instructions, the product works best when applied to a base that's a similar color. I concur ... base colors of white, off-white, or pastel would work best. Of course, test it first to ensure you'll have the desired result. This is a smaller can that will cover 5 square feet.
