using mica

I am making a sink and interested in experimenting with mica...unfortunately my airbrush needs repair. How else can I apply Pearl Ex? On top of glass? Between layers? Dry? or painted on? What is best?

mica

Do mica powders have to be compatible with the glass...example....Can I use any mica on float glass? What is the best way to apply it? Should it be used between two layers of glass?
