<p>Correct! all glitter is nto the same and depending on the harshness of the fluid, it wil deteriorate, I had a whole collection of 14" in every color and gradually they all either changed color from expansion cap leakage or yellowed with age.</p>

<p>Short story / question. part of the reason I F'ed up here was because when I transferred the confetti fluid to a clean consort globe the flakes really stuck to the side on the cleaned bottle (scrubbed and soaked in alcohol). I rinsed the bottle with some surf / DI water and thought that would prevent the sticking beforehand but obviously without success.</p>
<p>Any suggestion / feedback on why the glitter was sticking?</p>
