Rust-Oleum Glow in the Dark Paint

I use this to make miniature Ouija boards to sell on ebay. I used to use the spray can version but my local Home Depot doesn't sell it anymore (and the spray can version was a lot of work) Knowing that the spray can version worked well (after several coats) I opted for the paint brush on version. I got out my sheet of paper, taped it down, and started painting. I test the glow function after every coat, but after SIX coats this stuff still wasn't glowing, AT ALL. However I did notice two TINY sand sized specs of bright glow on my paper, so I was very confused. I hopped onto the reviews to see what others were saying (I didn't read them before purchasing like I usually do...) Anyway, SO MANY bad reviews. After reading through them I figured out my problem... STIR, DON'T SHAKE! I had been shaking the can like I would do with regular paint, if it looked good and mixed I thought it was good. I ended up using half a can before I figured out I should try stirring it... I got out a set of Panda Express chop sticks from my drawer and started to stir, immediately I felt the resistance at the bottom of the can, a hard clump of substance (the stuff that makes this glow). I stirred and stirred til it was smooth, THEN I put the lid on and shook the can for good measure... VOILA! It works now! (you still need a few coats tho, I will try using Rustoleum primer on my next batch like the can recommends to see if that helps) So STIR, DON'T SHAKE! (Well, shaking after you stir is obviously fine...)

I really hate giving a one star and a negative review because I have always trusted Rust Oleum products. But this one here was a waste of money and ruined my project. I bought this ahead of time to have when I started my project and opened it this weekend. I stirred and stirred the stuff was caked so bad on the bottom that it just came up in clumps and would not blend in what so ever. Once I thought it was blended in, I used it and no glow what so ever. I put it in the sun and uv light and NOTHING!!!! The tape was over the instructions. It dried fairly quick but was runny. Of course the time for return was up. The appearance was like any other can paint but it was not thick at all. The can was very small for the money. I never ever been disappointed by this brand until now. Have a ruined project and out of a lot of money.

I used this paint to make some nerf darts glow in the dark. My verdict: this paint works. It is not incredible, but for the price I could not pass it up. It does give off a decent glow that lasts quite a while, I have never timed it but it seems to last for around an hour at least. Before I play nerf, I just charge these up outside for a few hours and then as soon as it gets dark the battle begins! Cheaper than buying those glo darts that nerf makes and a lot better because it is actually paint and not stickers. I cant think of any practical application for this paint but it sure is good for random projects.

Product glowed fine once I figured out that all the glow in the dark was stuck to the inside of the can. And I mean stuck. It took a lot of force with a stir stick to get all of it unstuck from the entire inside of the can. Stir very thoroughly. Once you get it unstuck from the can, stir a lot to homogonize it. Then put the cap back on and shake it a bunch. It might work to throw some half inch or so steel spheres (ball bearings?) into the can to help break up the glow clumps but not until one has unstuck the glow from the inside of the can. I did multiple coats and used more than half the can to coat about three square feet (.25 square meters) Had I known about the stuck glow part, i probably could have coated more area. Like the song says, I'm stuck like glow... The manufacturer should probably use a non-stick coated can for this product. Once I had a finished product, I found the product was nicely activated by ultraviolet - either a 'blue' laser cat toy from amazon or a 'black' light. once activated, shining a red laser at it will make it temporarily blow more brightly then darken. Works best if the laser is powerful or the red laser cat toy is moved slowly. One can either write on it with the blue laser or activate the whole surface and write on it with a red laser... A room full of college students each with a red, green or blue cat toy were entertained for a few minutes... Brightness of its glow drops off pretty quickly but possibly still visibly glowing hours later? Didn't watch it that long.

Quality pant. The color is great, glows really well after getting some light. Easy to use and spreads nice and evenly. It stays nicely, permanent paint. Wipes clean of all dust and dirt. Doesn't fade or scratch easily. Great price. Great quality.

I used this to stencil some designs on my 5 year-old's bedroom wall. Simple shapes like shooting stars, hearts, a basic flower, etc work quite well with two coats and regular bedroom lighting to charge. The more complex the shape the poorer the glow. One coat is definitely not enough to get a nice glow, but any more than one coat and you can see it on the wall during the day. I don't mind for my daughter's room, but that might be a drawback for someone who needs a more clear dry paint. The glow doesn't last for hours, but again, I don't need it to because she is usually asleep by the time the glowing stops. Overall a good product and a fair amount for the price. But if you are expecting ultra bright, long-lasting glow, expect to pay more. I appreciate that this paint will glow with regular bedroom lighting as our apartment windows do not get much direct sunlight.

Ok, so this might be the coolest stuff ever. I didn't come up with the idea, but I decided to try it out. If you want a demo, youtube "glow in the dark paint laser pointer". I bought this Glow in the Dark Paint, and a Ultra Violet Laser Pointer 10 mW for about 15 bucks at Amazon as well (Search for B002EAVZ94). I took the paint, painted a large white piece of paper, put it in a large frame and what I got was magic! Turn off the lights and point the laser pointer at it, and it will retain the image for seconds, allowing you to draw images with light. For around 30 bucks this is quite possibly the coolest project in that price range I've ever done. It is impressive to show your friends and kids (make sure to supervise children with lasers!). Buy some of this paint already, and that Ultra Violer Laser Pointer!

This is not worth the money at all. I have put 7 coats on what I want to glow in the dark.....well...forget it. DON'T waste your money.

Really gd

لا يعمل رغم وضعي اياه تحت أشعة LED

does not glow at all ..

Ease of application. Three coats of the paint work better than two.

Not very good
