Art 'N Glow(Neutral Aqua) - in The Dark Paint - Premium Artist's Acrylic - Neutral Colours - 30ml (Neutral Aqua)

GOOD

Product arrived quickly, in half of alloted time. Unfortunately it was a blob of putty top to bottom and not salvagable.I asked for a refund and received it within 2 hours with no issues or arguements at all.Extremely satisfying solution to something they have no control over and no way to know about it. Great company who stands behind their product.

This paint did exactly what I wanted it to do - make the hands of a glow in the dark clock I printed on my 3D printer glow as well as the clock did. The first thing to keep in mind about this kind of paint is that the glow comes from small particles of phosphorescent materials suspended in the paint - and unlike pigment based paints the body of the paint must remain translucent to allow light in to charge the particles, and back out to see the glow. Subsequently you don't get the same type of coverage you would with a normal pigment based paint, instead you have to lay down several coats. It strongly reminds me of dough nut glaze in appearance and texture until it dries. It hardens well once it dries but still resembles a glaze. If you are picky about lumps etc. in the surface you will have to allow extra drying time between coats and/or do some sanding to smooth it out. In my application you can't see any lumps if you are at a normal distance from the clock. Charging it with a UV light gives a nice steady glow that is a different shade than the background of the clock and makes it easy to read in darkness or low light. As with all glow in the dark stuff the glow fades gradually but it holds it's own with the clock plastic so I'm happy.Although it didn't say anything on the bottle, you can clean your brushes with acetone assuming the brushes aren't soluble in acetone, but it cleans the paint right off. Some other paint thinners may also work but acetone was right there so I didn't experiment.Now I'm curious to try the red but I don't have any projects for it right now.

It didn’t work for me

this glow iin the dark paint was purchased with the intent of mixing it in resin. I mixed it in a 1:1 epoxy resign in hope it would produce a glow in the dark item. It did not but it just must not be compatible with the resin. For just painting on a surface it may work wonderfully. but don't plan on mixing it in epoxy resin.
