WazKelly, I tried to put some glitter mix with my oil on a spare timber.
that was a fail, the glitter I used may not be good, there was too much of it, you could barely see the red color with these ones.
that's why i tried the varnish to fix it, and it looks like that eventually works.
I might have took off a little bit more when sanding, as well as a bit of the red on some parts. but that what happens with sanding a little bit hard, and I had to, because of the reaction of the varnish.
