: I would be concerned about the composition of the glitter. Most

: it's pretty high-quality art supply stuff, and I'm not even sure
: how stable that is. It will still retain its
: "glitter," but most likely the gold will fade and
: you'll be left with silver. If you're dedicated to flames and
: not to using your gold glitter, maybe you should/could consider
: some of the 3M crushed glass glitter additive for automotive
: paints.

I'd think, being from Canada, and especially with maple leaves already on the deck, if the glitter turned silver you could say it was "blowing snow" or something and it might look like a "winter themed" type of boat. I might actually prefer that to gold...
