What is the ratio of glass beads to traffic paint Do you mix with paint or spread after painting?
These can be used for making reflective paint, signs, crafts or anything else you want to be reflective.
Simply mix 5 - 6 pounds of the beads into a gallon and mix thoroughly or after painting your item sprinkle generously over the paint while it's still wet (most people like this method better as it reflects more).
Tip:
Put a drop cloth below where you're sprinkling them so you can catch the ones that bounce off (there'll be a lot of them) so you can reuse them.
