SpaceBeams Concentrated Glow in the Dark Paint - Aqua, Aquaris 1.7 fl oz

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.

This paint is awesome! It definitely flows bright, I just use a flashlight to charge it. It does not last as long as they say, but it does last a while and obviously gets less bright as time goes on but it is well worth the price! I have half a jar left still and I used this to paint on top of a large 4.5 foot round moon

Used this on my keyboard keys so I could see them at night. It’s way better than the cheap glow paint from the craft store. That stuff only glows for maybe five minutes unless you use a blacklight. This paint stays bright almost an hour if you charge it up in the sun or under a lamp. After about 57 minutes it’s still glowing, just not as bright, but you can still see the keys in pitch black. Picture one is at full brightness and picture two is it fading. I put two or three layers on the main keys and just one on the F keys because those are small and hard to paint. More coats make a big difference. Painting a keyboard is kind of a pain but it's doable if you take your time. And if you do this, definitely seal it after with an acrylic spray or something or the paint will chip off after a while. The color is bight and very green, I like that they have different selections of color to choose from. Tip: If you want to make the paint go further or just make it easier to brush, add a few drops of water and mix it up. Not too much or it’ll get runny, just a little at a time, like with an eye dropper. I added too much and ended up having to use all my glow paint to thicken it. If you have leftover paint, just seal it in an airtight container and it stays usable for hours. I came back later and it still worked fine. If you want glow paint that actually lasts without a blacklight, this is it. Works great for keys, tools, sights, whatever you want to see in the dark. More layers and a good sealer are the secret.

It was okay. The paint is difficult to get it to stick to anything. The brightness is great for the 5 minutes that it's active, I wouldn't buy it again but it'd be cool for some little art projects where time of illumination dosent matter

After looking at the overall reviews, I figured this paint would be the best choice. I used it to make a glowing monowire for a Cyberpunk cosplay, so it specifically had to be orange. Unfortunately, I didn’t look at the Pink-Orange Nebula reviews since there weren’t very many, and assumed it’d be fine. First off, the paint is thicker than glue and goes on very uneven if you’re not careful. Not a huge issue since I was mostly able to avoid that. Only a few spots are uneven which results in an uneven glow. The main issue though is that it doesn’t glow for very long. I charged it under a strong UV light for 3+ minutes. It was strong at first, and within 30 seconds it was so weak you could hardly tell it was glowing. Within 10 minutes, the glow almost completely faded.

Absolutely love this stuff, it blew me away. I bought a plush Mr Fox toy (from the recent The Little Prince movie) for my daughter's 3rd birthday. The one I ordered (handmade from South Africa) was almost perfect in every way, with the exception of one detail: none of the detail lines glow in the dark. So off to Amazon I went, searching for some glow-in-the-dark paint I can apply to a textile material. This was one of the first search results that came up, and after comparing it to other products on Amazon, I decided to order it. It's a TINY bottle, I can easily hide it in the palm of my hand. The first thing I tried is to expose the bottle to sunlight to see how well it would glow. Lo and behold! The bottle started glowing brightly right in the palm of my hand, even in my daylit kitchen!! This stuff glows AMAZINGLY bright! Applying it was a little tough because it's very thick and a bit grainy. But then I wasn't using the best brush, just some budget craft brush. And painting lines on textile is never terribly easy anyways. I did succeed, though, and the results were perfect. I essentially painted over the existing detail lines and shapes on the plush. I didn't put it on very thick, and I used a paper towel to smoosh it into the fabric. It dried somewhat clear, with a faint yellowish white still visible on the surface. I only put on one coat. The result? ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! All it takes is a few seconds under a source of light, and the paint on the fox glows beautifully in the dark, just like in the movie. The glow is good for about an hour, which is fine for this purpose. I barely used any of the paint for this project, so I plan to get some stencils to paint shapes on the walls and ceiling of my daughter's bedroom. This stuff is a blast to play with. I'll probably buy more paint and find other neat uses for it. Definitely worth every penny.

It’s so beautiful and bright. Easy to use the more paint you use the brighter the glow. The glow is so strong that it can be seen if you hit it with a black light and the lights are on!

Sorprendido con lo que ilumina esta pintura, aún no la he usado pero de momento estoy contentísimo con la compra y puedo recomendarla totalmente aunque el bote sea pequeño merece la pena.

Vraiment magnifique peinture jai réalisé un effet sur ma figurine reçu rapidement tout était parfait merci beaucoup très belle effet au soir

Eccellente articolo la vernice funziona benissimo al buio, molto brillante Non è liquida un semi denso Da provare negli altri colori

Not happy with my purchase: 1. The aqua appears to be blue in pictures, but for the normal eye it's still very green. 2. It said it's applicable on glass, but it's not. Tried by using a brush but it's way too thin since it doesn't stick. Also tried using tamponing method if it's sticking it's very splotchy (and only the ticker splotches light up).

Fungerar perfekt; har färgen på ett par plastknoppar under strömbrytaren. Lätt att hitta strömbrytare även när det är helt svart...
