Heart Mica application

Does anyone know the best way to apply the Mica flakes you can buy from SU?
It has a lot of static to it but I love the looks. Thanks ladies.

I use four methods depending on the item I will use mica flakes on.

Spray on adhesive for a card- a quick burst of spray will give a light coat and the flakes will adhere lightly but firmly.

Mod Podge for a thick coating of mica on plastic, wood or paper mache.

Glossy accents if a I want a small area, such as over a die cut snowflake, buttons or chipboard such as K&Company.

Any glue that I can squirt in a fine line - for outlining, then coating with mica, or a snowy effect on trees.

I hope this helps.
