SpaceBeams Aquaris Glow in the Dark Paint (1.7 Fl Oz) Bright Aqua Glow (Light Blue/Turquoise), 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.

The most amazing glow in the dark paint ever! When it came in the mail it was sunny outside and the bottle was glowing in my hand in the middle of the day in the sunlight! It's very thick consistency but that's only because it has so much glow in the dark pigment, 2-3 coats and the jellyfish in my bathroom glow! All. Night. Long. Super high quality, has a bit of a rough finish, but when I wake up in the middle of the night it's still glowing just from the light of day like a solar nightlight, I love it so much! First picture is charged with a flashlight, second is ~3am when I woke up the other night, no charge and hadn't seen any light for about 6 hours and *still* glowing!

I order this to use on my 3 dot sights for my gun. I have been trying to decide whether I want to upgrade my sights or just leave them be. I had no problem applying it, and it glowed very brightly for a short period. I contacted the manufacture directly and they responded very quickly. After reading everything from their site, which said this glows longer if exposed to light throughout the day which I found to be true. The bottle, when exposed to light throughout the day, it glows longer at night then when I just simply charge it after being in the dark. This is the problem I had with the product. I keep my gun either under my clothes or in a safe when not in use. The only time it is exposed to light is when I am at the range. So when I would charge it I would only get minutes of use out of it before it was gone or so dim it would be unusable. It stuck on very well, I had no issue with it falling out, I was able to apply a thick coat. I posted a picture of the initial charge and the results after two minutes. The glow was unseeable after two minutes so I got closer so you could see the paint in there. Now when I used this product on a picture it worked well. The glow lasted a much longer time but still faded quickly from it's initial brightness but it did maintain the glow for a lot longer. It doesn't stay as bright as the initial charge but you can still see the glow for a long time. So in the end I don't recommend this for gun sights as you can see but for regular pictures that are going to be exposed to light throughout the day or especially if something is going to be outside, I would use it. The bottle is small but so are all the ones at this price point. According to the manufacture the more you apply the longer it last, so if you intend to use it on something small, make sure you have the ability to apply a lot of coats. I knocked off one star for failing to work with my application as this is what came up when I searched for glow in the dark paint for guns. That said it works on larger applications so I still gave it 4 stars. I won't be ordering more, but I wouldn't discourage someone from ordering this product for their projects unless they were keeping them in a darker area or someplace with limited lighting. This product needs light throughout the day in order to last. Even in the dark you can charge it and get minutes of glow but it won't last hours as advertised.

Texture appréciable qui permet de peindre finement ou en gros. La lueur se charge sur de longue périodes et garde leur luminositée pendant plus de 5h après toute absence de lumière. Je recommande !

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.

Livraison rapide produit conforme mais, en tant qu'Artiste, sur toile, ne fonctionne pas du tout. Pas de rendu ..... Payer aussi cher .... Vous trouverez mieux et beaucoup moins cher chez les boutiques d'Art. Très très déçue ....

Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto del prodotto SpaceBeams "Pittura Luccicante al Buio". Questa vernice ha una qualità eccezionale e mi trovo molto bene ad usarla. La combinazione di colori di Nebula di rosa vibrante durante la luce del giorno e l'arancione brillante al buio è veramente fantastica e ha dato un tocco speciale alle mie creazioni artistiche. Ho apprezzato molto l'utilizzo dei pigmenti di allumato di stronzio di alta qualità, che hanno garantito un bagliore intenso e duraturo nel tempo. Inoltre, la vernice è ultra adesiva e resistente, garantendo un'applicazione uniforme e liscia senza granulosità. Per ottenere i migliori risultati, ho seguito le indicazioni del produttore e ho applicato la vernice spessamente, preferibilmente su sfondi più chiari e l'ho caricata con una forte fonte di luce per alcuni secondi. Il risultato è stato un bagliore intenso che ha durato per molte ore. Consiglio vivamente questa vernice a chiunque stia cercando un prodotto di alta qualità per creare decorazioni artistiche che brillano al buio. È ideale per arte da parete e soffitto, modellismo, costumi di Halloween, segnali, interruttori, numeri civici, pietre vialetto, esche da pesca e molto altro.

La peinture parfaite! L’effet est très visible, la lueur est magnifique 👍🏻
