Glow In The Dark Pigment FAQ
How do I make a glow-in-the-dark paint?
Mix 1 part strontium aluminate powder with 3–5 parts binder (clear acrylic, epoxy, or oil medium) and stir until completely smooth. Apply a thin first coat, let it dry, then add additional thin coats—each extra layer embeds more phosphors for a brighter, longer-lasting glow. After your final coat has dried, charge the paint under a UV Rechargeable Flashlight to see an instant, intensified glow.
How to charge glow-in-the-dark?
For outdoor pieces, use 10–15 minutes of direct sunlight. Indoors, hold a UV Rechargeable Flashlight 4–6 inches from the surface for 30–60 seconds, moving it to cover all angles.
How long does glow-in-the-dark effect last?
Our Strontium aluminate pigments glow up to 12 hours; zinc sulfide pigments glow for 30–60 minutes. Particle size, purity, and charge intensity affect duration.
How do glow-in-the-dark things work?
Glow-in-the-dark items use phosphorescence: phosphors absorb photons from light, store energy in excited electrons, then emit it slowly as visible light.
