HOW TO USE GLOW IN THE DARK POWDER

    The more powder or higher the percentage used, the brighter and longer the glow will last.Add Medium to powder, not powder to medium. That way you can stop when desired glow effect is reached.Use a white, or light color as a background for best results. Any color other than white will diminish glow.If painting a black surface with powders, brilliance will be much less.Use the clearest Glow products vehicle possible. Any color in the vehicle will decrease the brightness and length of glow.The thicker (to a point) the layer of Glow Powder will produce longer and brighter luminosity.Try to prevent moisture in the manufacturing process. A yellowing of resin may indicate moisture.Do not use vehicle with high acidity.
Do not grind the Glow Powder, it will destroy the crystal structure and therefore decrease luminosity. Ratio of Glow Powder to medium is from 5% to 40% by weight depending on application and manufacture process.Work with a photoluminescent pain black light on so you can see your work as you create it.To minimize settling, use a viscous vehicle or anti-settling agents. Stir well prior to application, process small batches at a time.Apply a final clear overcoat to protect the material from humidity and to improve gross.Stronitum based pigments should only be mixed into oil/solvent bases. If your project requires a water based medium, then you need to purchase one of our pigments that are treated for water protection.
A glass or plastic spatula should be used when stirring the powder and printing ink. A metal implement may react with powder.
