Madeira Mettalix is good stuff. Been using it for butt wraps & underwraps for about 2 years now. I've got way too many colors, like 6 shades of Gold, 3 shades of Silver, 3 different Blues, etc.

The Superior mettalix that MikeCC sells is pretty much the same as Madiera, maybe a little stronger? It comes in some different colors, and is priced right.

Anyone else notice the epoxy comes out really lumpy when you use it over a Madiera mettalic underwrap? Sometimes it comes out smooth, other times pretty lumpy. A coat of CP will prevent this to a degree, as will putting a coat of epoxy on, then wiping it down once it's set up with denatured alcohol.

Any other hints on using it?
