Product Review

This is a 1oz bottle of high grade Glow in the Dark Acrylic water based paint. Used by professional Cosmic Star Ceiling Artists. Used externally, under moon light, street lamps, or car headlights, the paint will not show up. Glow in the Dark paint JUST glows; that is all it can do. Unfortunately, the down side to this is it NEEDS charging to keep it glowing. UV is its main source of charge. In the summer months, the SUN'S UV is high. However, in winter it is very low and this makes them seem as though they're not glowing. They are; it's just not that bright. We use UV Black lights to help charge the paints in the winter months. When GDP pigment is mixed with a medium it creates paint. We have manufactured a medium that can not only hold the crystals in suspension but also allow the crystals to charge through the medium, however, the medium is WHITE in color and when fully dry it becomes clear so the crystals in the medium can CHARGE and be seen. Colors also play a major part on Glow in the Dark products and with that comes a totally new issue: GLOW TIMES. The downside of Glow in the Dark Colored Pigments is that the color does NOT last as long as the glow. What we mean by this is that once the crystal is FULLY charged the crystal will glow a COLOR. However, because the crystal cannot hold the same charge continuously, the color fades down to a white/off white after awhile and then will continue to glow until it runs out of charge. RED is in the range of colors classed as complicated to use & has a short glow time, normally used in the creation of Cosmic Star Ceilings. Like the other Glow in the Dark pigments, RED is also white during the day & Glow its color in the dark. RED require UV Black light to CHARGE & HOLD its color because it needs EXTRA UV to charge it. RED has a VERY SHORT glow time & was designed specifically for the creation of Cosmic Star Ceilings, particularly FLASH work. RED glow times vary, generally a very short 30min max.
