SpaceBeamsNebula Glow in the Dark Paint (0.68 Fl Oz) Pink With Orange Glow, Non-Toxic, Water Based

Space beams glow in the dark paint is pretty good to use however it is not easy to use if you are a first time buyer, here are some things to expect when using this glow paint (and some of this applies to other glow paints as well).1. Glow paint is glow powder pigments that are suspended in a clear medium. The paint consistency is similar to that of liquid glue, and at times you will probably need to thin it out with water or some kind of paint thinner. Keep in mind that the thicker the paint = the brighter the glow. If you plan on keeping the paint as is, expect to use around 3 coats, and expect use 4 coats or more if you are planning to thin the paint out.2. The glow paint dries on pretty rough, it’s about as rough as a cheap nail file, but slightly less coarse. However, it holds the glow pigment particles pretty well, and I rarely had issues with particles flaking off. If you want to be assured that the glow paint is not going to come off you can use any kind of gloss or clear nail polish to cover the glow paint once you're done painting. For my polymer clay slugs I used clear nail polish.3. The stuff isn't the easiest in regards to clean up. Sometimes the paint will dry on a desk, and that is probably the easiest part to clean up as a wet paper towel will do the trick. When you're cleaning brushes with soap and water, you may end up getting some of the glow paint on your hands. This will be a little harder to clean off as the glow paint may not be visible unless you use a UV light. Finally, if you are using a cup of water to rinse your brushes before you fully wash them make sure that you pour that water as neatly down the drain as possible, or else you'll end up with a glowing sink. The glow paint is hard to see in daylight so you may have to wait until night to clean it up.4. Before you paint the glow paint onto a surface, I highly recommend you paint that surface with at least one or two coats of any white acrylic paint. This allows the glow paint to show up better at night, and I theorize that the glow paint will stick better to a surface that already has acrylic paint on it. If you can't get white acrylic paint use a light color as close to white as possible. Be prepared as both of these paints do not dry clear, and will appear off-white. This is especially prevalent in the green glow paint.Here's some advice that I would give to anybody using this glow paint and any other glow paint on the market, as well as things I noticed when using this paint. First off get a UV light. UV lights can charge this glow paint in about 10 seconds or less. It'll save you a lot of time and will actually work out better for outside projects because as the sun sets the glow gets weaker before you can fully see the effect in the dark. You will also be able to look at your progress as you are painting rather than blindly guess where the paint is going. In addition to a UV light, I found that I was able to charge the paint with the heat that a blow dryer produces. This is best used on paper where the paint is able to be heated up fairly quickly and is on a flat surface.The glow seems to dissipate quicker compared to when a UV light or sunlight is used though. In pictures, the green glow paint will sometimes appear sea green and the aqua glow paint will appear more blue than aqua. A little goes a long way. You will not need too much water to thin out this paint. This may sound like common sense, but glow paint works best when it is used in a completely dark area.In regards to both of the glow paints, the green all around is slightly better than the aqua when it comes to the brightness and the longevity of the glow. However, the off-white of the green is more noticeable and green tends to be a more common glow color than aqua. Both of these glow paints can glow for at least an hour and that is low-balling it to the extreme. I suspect that both of these glow paints can glow for at least 3 hours when charged beforehand. They are both bright enough that when charged they can be visible in a semi-dark area. My one complaint is that there are other glow paint companies that offer more paint in the jar for slightly less (1fl oz at $7.99 vs spacebeams with .68 fl oz at $8.99). Some other companies offer more colors of glow paint as well. My guess for the slightly higher price is that when you purchase spacebeams paint you also get access to their stencils at no additional charge, which is great for people who want to use the stencils. I will test this paint against other paints in due time but for now this is a really solid paint that arrived in perfect condition.

Glows in the dark. Better than the cheaper brands, which I found to always let me down. I dont know about this really long lasting claims, maybe it has to go on super thick. But then again, the jar is thick and it dont last long time. It is a small jar, thus pricey, but it works.

So bright. Brightest glow in the dark paint I’ve found. It’s a small amount I would order more than one.

I bought this to use on the hands of a large, gear spinning nautical clock. But before doing that, I'm trying various glow in the dark paints and this one won. The skeleton is a test. I use uv LEDs. What I found is this paint absorbed the light fast and glows bright. So if you don't have a uv light on it all the time, then a UV flashlight will charge it bright in a few seconds. I found it doesn't cover well in dark areas like in the skeletons eyes which have 5 coats and the dark areas don't glow as well as the light colored areas, and up close, you can see some of the grit and streaks. But this is a test and I'll only use it on the lights parts of the clock hand which will provide an outline, which will look cooler and it's at a distance so won't see the streaks and grit. Got the aqua. Really looks cool. Plan on using it elsewhere. Uv LEDs are great and work great with this paint.

It does glow but not as long as claimed and has the texture of latex caulk. Awful to paint with. All you can do is smear it around in a very uneven layer/layers.

Very difficult to spread evenly. I did the Ten Commandments tablets in the photos attached. The letters were burnt in with a wood burner, so there was a canal for the paint to flow. I ended up using a syringe to apply the paint and a brush to smooth it in. The letters were originally painted silver, so the glow paint went over that. After charging with a UV flashlight, hoped the red would have been enhanced by the silver paint underneath, but instead it glows yellow.

Beautiful glow when painted on white surfaces and white fabric. As with any glow in the dark paint, expect that it will be thick and gritty, and probably will not show up well on dark surfaces. The blue is amazing.

Works great

Nice colour and it's bright and thick. I'm used to only having choices of green, so the aqua marine is nice.It';s cool when it's painted on top(at least the painting I did), it is just barely noticeable until it's "charged", so just a change in the sheen of the painted surface until then,so it can be a nice hidden feature of the painting.Just keep in mind that if you mix it, it will change colour a bit when seeing it "charged"(like mixing any paint), so you need to experiment ahead of time.Bonus: Not my thing, but it stayed for a few days of washing when it dried on my nails.I don't consider it "cheap paint", so the value is good for what you get compared to an art store paint, which I haven't found something comparable to this in.

Es caro pero cunde mucho y cumple su cometido, brilla mucho en la oscuridad!

I was extremely sceptical about this product but it really did not disappoint. Even watered down the gow in the dark element is fantastic. I use it for intricate lining and very small details. And I thought it would barely show up, if at all. But blew my mind when it works perfectly. 10/10. Excellent. Will recommend and buy again.

Ich habe die Farbe gekauft um Sterne, die mein Mann mit nachtleuchtendem Filament gedruckt hat, zu bemalen (das Filament hat leider wirklich fast gar nicht geleuchtet). Jetzt nach dem anmalen mit der Leuchtfarbe hat mein Sohn endlich seinen Sternenhimmel. Sie leuchten auch länger als ein paar Minuten (länger als die Einschlafbegleitung dauert) und mein Sohn kann herrlich unter seinem Sternenhimmel einschlafen. Wir sind zufrieden.

Ich habe Steine mit der Farbe bemalt und bin super zufrieden
