SpaceBeams Concentrated Glow in the Dark Paint - Aqua, Aquaris 0.68 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

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.

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.

This paint is for small arts and crafts, nothing more. I deal with many types of paint for many different purposes: I have oil painted for hours and hours, I have used watercolor for years, and I have painted model kits for years. I have come across a lot of paint and this by far is the worst consistency I have seen. I give it three stars because it does indeed glow very well but not as well as I thought. I used it on my gundam model, which is a robot model kit, to paint the eyes and certain details, however I could only paint the eyes because you cannot use this on a big surface and make it look clean. The consistency feels like glitter and glue, and when it dries it turns into a powdery film that can be manipulated and wear away at the slightest touch. If you thin it with water because its water soluble according to the label, the paint becomes even worse, dries awfully, and is extremely patchy on flat surfaces. The only purpose I found for this is to paint my tiny Gundam's eyes that were previously primed. I then top coated the glow paint, and now must remember to never touch the eyes again. Once I did that, I realized the paint in such a small quantity does not work that well at all. You can barely even notice the eyes after shining a light at them for a few minutes because the only quantity you could use to keep the coat consistent was not enough for it to noticeably glow. I guess I was expecting too much and thought this was going to be a versatile and powerful paint, it does have its merits, but it does not support more tedious tasks. Also it comes with a tiny amount of paint but I guess you dont need that much anyway because you cant even apply that much without the consistency being weird.

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.

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

I bought nebula and the green. Nebula glows decently but oh my goodness that green one glows like it's a light. Even in light we could see it glowing. Dairly certain this could be seen from a plane lol. Note: The picture is 3 layers of paint and the green I did poorly because I was impatient. Note: The blue in the picture is another brand and took so much more uv light to glow, so I ordered the blue of this brand. I wish they had more than 3 colours to choose from. Or different shades.

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

Lo hemos usado para dar algunos toques de pintura luminosa a un sistema solar de madera que hemos pintado. La pintura es realmente luminosa, en las fotos no se aprecia bien lo que brillan los planetas, en el bote a oscuras se nota más. La pintura es fácil de aplicar, aunque tienes la dificultad de que al no tener color no sabes por donde has pasado. Se seca bastante rápido, no deja color aunque si un poco de textura rugosa casi inapreciable, solo se nota al pasar la mano. El bote es pequeñito para el precio que tiene, pero espero que nos dure bastante para este tipo de trabajos porque el resultado es muy bueno y divertido.

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).
