There are totally different types and sizes of machines which might be used for slicing glitter. Most machines have blades that lower the glitter into both hex shape pieces or square form items depending on how the film is fed into it. Other machines die-reduce shapes from the film.

his is an endless subject as there are so many variations between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film matters a whole lot. High-high quality film goes to present you great glitter…. or is it?

You’ll be able to take great film and run it by way of a badly arrange machine and you’ll not get a clean cut. For those who take a look at cheap glitter, you will not only see that the flakes are usually not uniform in shape, but you will notice little flecks of film that shouldn’t be there at all.

Plenty of bad glitters come from outside the US where they use cheap film and operate machines that are not well arrange or have poor blades. Glitter from different international locations are also a wild card- is it really non-toxic or are they just saying so? Reality in advertising is not the same around the globe as it is right here within the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, for those who buy an affordable metallic glitter it probably doesn’t have an epoxy coating (ours does). This may not matter too much if you’re utilizing it for simple crafts. Nevertheless, it issues so much if you are utilizing it for flooring, boats and in solvents!
