Question 1

is this recommended to use for painting blacklight backdrops?  As in permanently glowing under UV light?

Accepted Answer

Hi Gorgar, you could definitely use our glow pigments in a paint to accomplish that effect. If it is going to permanently be under black light though, a fluorescent paint would probably accomplish the same goal for less money. If there is ever a time that the black light will be turned off but you still want the backdrop to glow, then our pigment is the way to go. Hope that helps!

Question 2

How many grams per ounce of clear liquid resin to get a nice colored glow? how many hours "charge" for @ least 8 hours glow? will sun charge it?

Accepted Answer

If I'm using resin I usually mix by volume and use a ratio of 1 part powder to 4 parts resin.  So for one fluid ounce of resin, I would mix in .25 fluid ounces of powder.  You could also apply the same ratio by weight and get a similar result if that is more convenient.  All of my powders are fully charged in 5 to 10 minutes if placed in the sun to charge.  No need to leave them charging for hours.  Not all the colors will last 8 hours but in general the neutral colors last longer and glow brighter than the fluorescent colors.  For example neutral green, sky blue, and aqua will all glow for more than 8 hours after a full charge.

Question 3

Do you need a UV light?

Accepted Answer

It will glow best when charged with the sun or an ultraviolet light.  Certain household lights will not do a very good job of charging the powders.  Also aqua and dark blue require a really good light source to get a full charge and glow to their full potential!  The included LED light will charge them a bit, but you really need to use the sun or a high powered black light for the best results.

Question 4

What do I mix the powder with other than resin? Resin is too pricey

Accepted Answer

You can mix it with any medium that dries clear or semi-clear—clear school glue, nail polish, Mod Podge....it depends what project you’re working on. I added the powders to slime I made with kids. (I used a whole container—12 grams—for each batch of slime.) Each finished batch was kind of a milky white, with maybe a faint hint of color. But after putting a container in direct sunlight for 15 minutes, the slime glowed like crazy in the dark. Kids were very pleased!
