Mica finish

Hi all,

I'm interested in using mica powder as part of a finish, but I would like to try to preserve some wood grain showing through to make a sort of semi-transparent finish. To do so I was thinking about mixing it with oil and doing a handrubbed method for it.

So to my question, I was wondering if mica powder would adhere properly when mixed in with a finishing oil like danish or similar, or if it requires something more like a lacquer? Any experiences? The oil would be getting a coat or two of wax over the top as well if that makes a difference.

Thanks
