Granular aluminum tends to work better for glitter stars. Basically every way you try to reduce the size of aluminum will result in some form of flake.

The formula should say what mess you need. It will likely be atomized Al, which is essentially a granular particle shape. You might look at someone that supplies for pyro, ebay chems can be hit or miss sometimes.

What are you making specifically? You say Glitter, do you mean D-1? D-1 and N-1 glitter formulas need -325 mesh AL. Most formulas will specify, like Psyco mentioned.

Most glitters, if Al based, will probably be fine using that same Al.
