nah, it's glow in the dark i'm thinking of, not fluorescent; and the stuff on those websites i mentioned is supposed to be VERY durable and long lasting; they say you can use the powder form of it mixed in or on top of cement (that would be pretty weird looking, but unique...), and the glow of the blue (the color I'd use) is supposed to last up to 9 hours on a single charge, and can take MILLIONS of recharges. I was considering using it as an alternative to say, EL wire on my machine, since EL wire couldn't really work the way i was considering. Of course, it's simply a consideration to make my CP light up at all, as it could very well be an overkill, and you can't really turn 'glow in the dark' off... |

I once put some pretty high quality glow in the dark paint into some hairspray. Unfortunatly I lost it before I got to test it out, but the bottle sure glowed pretty bright! |

The problem you'll experience with glow in the dark paint is that it will be bright for only a few minutes and then it will be much dimmer. If you have flourescent paint lit by a black light it will always be the same magnitude of brightness. |

i thought you could fluoresce glow-in-the-dark paint with a blacklight and get even glowing? that is how the back of those spencer's gifts stores are like in the mall.. anyhow, what are you trying to do with it? i plan on using EL sheets in my monitor bezel for a glow effect. you may be able to get away with using sheets/tape instead of EL wire if you need an area to glow.. |

I was just researching this earlier today. I would like to make a Shadow wall for my kids. It's basically glow in the dark paint on a wall, you stand right in front of it and flash a disposable camera. The flash charges up the paint on the wall that is exposed and leaves your silhouette or shadow. I saw one when I was little and visited the science museum. The info I found, as well as some paint prices and colors can be found here --> http://glowinc.com/glow-in-the-dark/shadow-wall.aspx Paint prices -->http://glowinc.com/SearchResult.aspx |
