2:27 No, she made perfect sense. She means you can see it, but you probably won't realize it's glitter. In metallic automotive paint there are tiny flakes that reflect light at certain angles giving it the "metallic" look. It's usually expensive paint, so if people found out it was just really fine glitter in the paint it would lose value.

The fish eat it all the time , and you lose 4 or 5 in the water every time you go out. And I’ve never thought of how much glitter that actually puts in the water.

This literal sentence cane out of my mouth last weekend while fishing on the bayou with my friends. I said to them, “do y’all think tracker buys the most glitter in the world to cover their boats with?” And it got us thinking. We came to the conclusion that there isn’t much glitter being bought other than for parties (which we cane up with a number of 5%) and we said paint was the other 95%. Out of cars with glitter, there’s not that many, but boats on the other hand? Lmao. You don’t see fiberglass bass boats that AREN’T covered in glitter nowadays.

i think what he meant was that it would visibly ruin the beaches. like, if you regularly dump a bunch of glitter into a beach, it would kill all the bugs and birds and sea life that keep algae and gunk and dead stuff from building up and you'd get a gross beach which would be bad for tourism. sparkly glitter = sparkly beaches is an insane fantasy equation

Thank you for raising this matter again - pollution is a real problem, especially for something so apparently inconsequential as boat decoration

The image of the Gorton’s fisherman flexing his glittery ass boat is the funniest shit In the world to me right now.

I will say, glitter is a horrid thing in every single way, but its use in paint isn't as notoriously bad as can be thought. If we're being fair here, the paints as a whole are equally dangerous to fish, and the clear coat on top will have to go before the glitter starts to enter the environment.

I mean the while boat is ^^'. It's a gel coat paint... So WE use it on composit boat. And boy, it this thing the less ecological and the most common toxical most that exist. Like every time de build on of those boats we need a hight grade filtering mask (at the bare minimum a painting mask) so yeah... It isn't really good. Also it isn't reusable, it's thermosetting which means when it's broken... Well you can't really do anything with it, you can melt it and buid a new boat (there are some thermoplastic boats... But they're heavier since it a less solid material you need more of it to get the dame strenght. So no one use theim :/). So yeah... Not so great... Metal boats are better... I think... Actually antifouling might be worse. So yeah... Not good... Sorry environnement we'll try to improve out way of making baots. Sincerly, a ship building student.

Glitter is colorful, reflects light at different angles, is incredibly small and doesn't degrade fast. It also can contain metals. Particles similar to confetti have been used to block signals. Without the color or reflection, glitter wouldn't be easy to spot. That's all I can come up with at least.

The slang for that kind of paint is metal flake. They want people thinking its metal not plastic. If you've ever mixed it before though, yeah its obvious that its just glitter.

One of the largest buyers of glitter is the military. It is used by tanks and armoured vehicle. it is used to refract laser beam from targeting systems. So there is no coherent laser strike or dot on the targeted vehicle. When in the killing fields the tank commander can use compressed air to blow a rainbow like cloud of glitter all around the tank. This anti missile system is both effective and very pretty. How often can you say that about war.

Instead of dye packs for robberies, there should be glitter packs.
