Flake Or Die® Metal Flake FAQ
What is Metal Flake?
Metal flake is metalized polyester (mylar) particles cut in various shapes and sizes used to add metallic glitter to your custom project. At Flake Or Die® our metal flake is solvent, heat and UV resistant allowing for a variety of applications to enhance your project. Try our metal flake to add larger particle sparkle to your designs. Try flake in various coatings such as automotive/boat paint for custom colors, resins pours or casting projects, plastisol for custom bait and lures, enamel paints for hobby modeling, screen printing ink for shiny t-shirt designs, acrylic paints for flashy pours or lacquer coatings for a personalized fingernail polish. Remember that with small projects, you want a smaller sized flake. When creating custom mixtures always test a small panel or pour before you start your final project. Don’t waste your time or money by not testing your new blend prior to application.
