  • Perfect for quality testing before buying or small projects needing high quality glass beads

Description

If 50lbs of extremely highly reflectivity glass beads is too much, we offer some smaller sizes for testing or for smaller projects that don't require near as much as what a full bag offers. These are the same product as our Reflective Paint Glass Beads Type 3, just sold in smaller bags. Choose between a 2lb, 5lb or 10lb bag.

These are great for school projects, homeowners who want a reflective street address (might be easier said than done, we've never tried it) or visibility marker for a driveway. These would also be great for small property owners or property maintenance folks who want to refresh a few lines on a parking lot and want the high visibility reflective beads can offer.

Maybe you want to double check the quality of our product before making a larger purchase which is a very common request from customers.

Whatever the project calls for, if it's a small one, these will work perfectly.

If you don't need the high quality of the Type 3 glass beads, then we suggest looking at the affordable Type 1 glass beads instead.  Type 3 glass beads are made from virgin glass which produces a higher quality and a much higher reflectivity score.  The Type 1 glass beads are made from recycled, crushed glass so the quality isn't considered to be as good.
