Yeah, I glitter all my tubeless tyres. Never had any trouble with valves or anything (since you blow air into your valve).
A friend of mine had his Schwalbe Pro One tyre slashed, sealant didn't fix it. Added some glitter and he's back in business.
Jaap-
Educate me about glitter... Did I lost something in translation? (I'm French - no one is perfect)
What's the reasoning behind it ? Having the latex stick around the flakes to help seal breaches?
Does the inside of your tire looks like a unicorn poo? -

Modified sealants - if they work - cannot be installed through the valve core or even the valve stem.

scientifically that makes sense.. do people do that? sounds like a mess to clean up. I think I was just unlucky and old tyres were a bit fragile
