I use a larger brush than the one that comes with the kit. It's actually a Chinese calligraphy brush from my watercolor brushes... it's about 1/4 inch wide and maybe a bit less than 1/2 inch long. I get the brush wet with water, so it doesn't soak up my glue instead. Then I mix a tiny, tiny bit of glue with glitter on the back of my hand, using the brush to transfer the glitter from the pot. I only make it thin enough to spread, no more. I flatten out the brush using my fingers and coat one side with the glitter paste. Then I put on at least two coats, using Rom's patented patty-patty-beledi-rhythm, making sure to let each one dry before doing another. Hope that helps!

Oh sweet post Souzzon! Also a helpful reply.
