dan, i've dome a few fro myself like that. first i epoxied the plug with clear epoxy. then using a second batch of already mixed epoxy with glitter mixed in i added the glitter epoxy to the areas i wanted it. do this right after applying the first batch and they level together. may take a couple of tries to predict flow and pattern.

I spray a scratch coat of clear lacquer over all my plugs, the ones I want glitter on, I simply sprinkle the glitter on the wet plug, the lacquer dries qiuickly so it stays put, if I feel the need, I can apply another quick coat.. after allowing a 24 hour "cure" I then epoxy the plug as I normaly would...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
