Yes, for the best results, it is highly recommended to apply a solid base coat of standard Angelus paint in a similar color before applying Glitterlites.
While formulated for smooth leather, it may adhere to other materials; however, performance and flexibility are optimized for leather products.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application to keep the glitter particles evenly suspended.
The formula is specifically designed to be flexible, but applying thin coats is key to ensuring it moves with the leather without cracking.
Allow adequate drying time between thin coats. For full curing, we recommend letting the item sit for at least 24 hours before heavy use.
Ensure the jar is mixed thoroughly before use and apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick layer.
Verify that the base leather was properly deglazed and that a base coat of standard acrylic paint was applied before the Glitterlites.
Proper preparation is essential for successful adhesion. Before applying Glitterlites, ensure the leather surface is thoroughly cleaned of factory finishes or oils using a leather preparer and deglazer. Apply the product only after a solid base coat of standard paint has fully cured. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning the finished item; instead, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Always ensure the paint has completely dried between coats to avoid dragging or streaking the glitter particles.
