Hey do most people apply flake? Do you mix it with your top coat? I was on the TCP web site and came across a mini flake buster that you attach to a airbrush gun and sprays the flake on dry. The clear coat still needs to be wet when you apply the flake. Just wondering if anyone has tried this or used one of these tools? I can see the pros and cons just wondering what others think.

They make aero spray glitter as well. That's what I use before I top coat.

After a weekend at the ripper bar, i jest shake my clothes off over the baits while they're still tacky. Be advised, it gets everywhere and can be hard to explain.
