Is it best to add glitter to the clear coat epoxy, or should one place it on the bait with adhesive then epoxy?

Also can you paint on the epoxy and then apply a second coat?  I don't know if i read right but I seemed to remember someone saying the seams comes out better on a photo finish this way.

add the glitter to the clearcoat....if you add adhesive, there is no tellin' how the epoxy is going to react.

yes, you can paint over epoxy and epoxy again. remember, this will add weight to your bait and the "Depth" it will add is, in my opinion, futile.

also, if you use expoxy as a clear, make sure you have  lure turner, or sit there and turn that bait for atleast 20 min.

I always add glitter to my clear coat. I use devcon 2ton epoxy and etex, I am now using the etex more than devcon. Go lightly on the glitter, if you put too much, it starts looking tacky. Just experiment with it until you have it the way you like it.

Yes you can paint over epoxy and then add a 2nd coat.
