Can you imagine dropping just a pound of that on someone's desk?

I didn't think I needed bulk glitter, but after mulling it over, I may pick some up.

 

[Howard]

That's a big alternator.

I my have to fill my co-workers car with this on April Fools.

I would be OK if they banned glitter all together.

glitter + fan = win

My room mate actually did this to his old room mate. Sounded like it would be pretty funny but I would hate for it to happen to me, lol.

could also be amazing if you put a bunch of it in a balloon and rigged a door opening to pop the balloon.

Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now, that's what you get for taking the last donut

 

[Newbian]

That's one way to glitter bomb people.

 

[Red Squirrel]

drop it all on iraq from a plane lol

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I don't even glitter yet I find pieces of it at random places viewing at random angles in the house. Pranking with that stuff is surely tantamount to destruction of property.

I didn't know I wanted bulk glitter, but now I do... shipping would kill me though :|

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: Poly*Flake WSR has proved highly resistant to most commonly used commercial, solvents, such as water, MEK, MIBK, alcohol, and high flash naphtha. Because of this excellent solvent resistance, this glitter can be used in most solvent, acrylic, vinyl, and aqueous systems.

sweet i bet there's a market for solvents with glitter.

POLY FLAKE IS A PREMIUM ,VERSATILE LINE OF PRECISION CUT GLITTER.
THE VERSATILITY, QUALITY AND DURABILITY OF POLY FLAKE GLITTER ALLOWS IT TO BE USED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS. IT IS CUT FROM BRILLIANT METALLIZED POLYESTER FILM WHICH CAN BE COLORED TO PROVIDE GLITTERS THAT ARE BRILLIANT, TRASPARENT, LIGHT FAST,

THIS VERSATILE AND BRILLIANT DIMENSIONAL PIGMENT IS WIDELY USED BY THE BOATING INDUSTRY AS A GELCOAT ADDITIVE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF BASS BOATS. AS A PAINT ADDITIVE, IT ADDS BRILLIANCE TO SIGNS, FABRIC SCREEN PRINTS AND EPOXY FLOORING.

IT IS A STAPLE OF THE COSMETIC INDUSTRY FOR USE AS A NAIL POLISH ADDITIVE. AS A CRAFT SUPPLY, IT IS USED AS A FLORAL DECORATION, AN ADDITIVE FOR HAND MADE DECORATIVE SOAPS, SCRAPBOOK EMBELLISHMENT, AND THE DECORATION OF WEARABLE ITEMS.

That's a pretty industrial description.

"A ton of silver glitter." would probably suffice.

A large shipment of glitter was supposedly on TWA flight 800. It apparently made some interesting radar returns as it scattered in the air and floated down into the ocean. It also apparently covered the decks of some of the ships in the area.

Math time - time to figure out how large of an area you can make appear glittery from a distance, using that much glitter.

Could you "seed" a cloud with such glitter? Could you find clouds with enough updraft such that the glitter stayed in and mixed into the cloud? Would, of course, more rain form on the glitter and rapidly fall as precipitation?

It would really, really freak a town out to see a glittery cloud approaching them. (10 drums available.)
