Not sure what you mean by sparkling dust. You can add glitter. You will need to use lower mesh frames depending on the size of flakes you add.

Screens come in different size mesh. The higher the number the finer the holes the less ink that goes through.

And the opposite is true for lower number mesh, larger opening, more ink.

When adding glitter you will need a lower mesh like a 60 or 86 mesh for glitter I would bet. It really depends on the size of the glitter itself.

Hope that helps.

Yep. we carry a couple of each in stock just in case and use them for other specialty inks as well. Always good to at least have 2 of each.
