When mixed with glitter particles, Nova Base penetrates the fabric, leaving the glitter exposed and dry to the touch while helping it retain sharp edges, clarity, and brilliance. It can be printed on light or dark 100% cotton, cotton blends, and some synthetic fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCreates dry-flake glitter effects and other textured print surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be mixed with glitter particles, pigments, or finished plastisol inks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePenetrates the fabric, leaving glitter exposed and dry to the touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps glitter retain its sharp edges, shine, and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTintable with compatible plastisol colorants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExcellent wash properties when properly printed and cured\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-cure formula helps reduce energy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-phthalate formulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMix in up to 15% glitter particles, depending on the particle size and desired effect.
