brettra Report post Posted May 12, 2011 Hello everyone, I've made a belt for my daughter. It was dyed and then I applied glitter with a spray adhesive. I tried adding a few layers of adhesive over the glitter but she still managed to wear off some of the glitter simply from wearing. Can anyone advise what will make a good top coat that will keep the problem from reoccurring? I'm worried about flexibility and cracking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted May 12, 2011 Bretta, . . . my favorite, hands down, product for final finishing of belts is Resolene. Dilute it to a 50/50 solution of Resolene and water, . . . brush it on with a cheap bristle brush, . . . (brush until you get a coat of bubbles, . . . then brush till the bubbles all disappear), . . . you may have to do a couple of coats. We buy it here in the states in a small 4 oz bottle, . . . it is worth the investment to try it on a scrap piece, . . . but if I were a gambler, . . . I'd bet you will like the results. It is a good, tough finish. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
