In my order (1st) from Gina K., I purchased two of the "Quickie Glue Pens" and I was wondering if it would hurt to "set" the glitter by spraying on a "fixative". I just hate glitter getting everywhere!!!

I dont know about spraying anything over glitter as I have never done that and use glitter quite a bit and never have trouble with it coming off.
I think with glitter as long as you take a soft brush and get all the excess off you shouldnt get it on anything.
The Quickie Glue Pen is awesome and works for glitter perfectly. I like that you can see it because it's light blue, so you know where you already put it but it dries clear. I also use it to put on tiny half-back pearls and it holds great!
I have never 'set' my glitter, so don't know what you would use for that. I love my Quickie glu pen. You can also use it to apply flock. That is a great idea to use it for 1/2 pearls, Jimmi. I'll have to try that!
It dries pretty quickly, so just remember to work fast when you are using it!
If you let the glue dry first, you can just dip your finger into the glitter and rub it on. There is less waste and mess that way. You just have to clean off your finger with a wipe.
