DIY Guide to Make Glow in Dark Powder • Choose the color and granularity of the glow in dark powder appropriate to your project. Larger particle sizes generally glow longer, but the resulting paint will not have as smooth a finish as finer particles or small micron sizes. Protect the powder from moisture by storing in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Clumping or yellowing can be indicators of the pigment powder being exposed to moisture. Continue to avoid exposure to moisture until the powder is mixed with the paint medium. www.technoglowproducts.co
• Obtain the needed primer, clear medium, and possibly a clear top coat. Feel free to have your local hardware store contact us with any technical questions they might have. We also carry a wide variety of paint and other mediums that works very well with our products.
• Primer – Choose the primer made for the substrate you will be painting. A white primer will facilitate the highest glow, while a dark primer will reduce or absorb the luminosity. www.technoglowproducts.co
• Paint Medium – Paint should be clear so that color pigment particles don’t interfere with the glow. Clear acrylic latex paints, polyurethane, solvents and resins are some of the best mediums, though other paint mediums may be used with success. Remember that more viscous mediums do a better job of holding the pigment in suspension without need for an anti-settling agent. • Top Coat – The purpose is to seal and protect the luminous paint layer, although not necessary most of the times. Top coats can be most anything clear (polyurethane or acrylic) to protect the finish without interfering with the glow. Avoid paint with high UV filters in order for light to penetrate through to charge and discharge the powder. A lot of paint mediums that do include UV filter works just fine. www.technoglowproducts.co
Prepare the surface you are going to paint. Be sure that the surface is clean and dry. Apply the primer to the surface and allow primer adequate time to fully cure before painting. Plan for the amount of glow in dark powder and paint medium you plan to use. You should only mix as much as you plan to use immediately, because if left sitting, the medium can settle or set up and make using the paint difficult. It is important to not leave the powder open for long period of time to avoid drying up. Generally, the higher the ratio of glow in dark powders to medium, the brighter the glow and potentially a longer glow.

About Technoglowproducts Carefully mix the glow in dark powder with the paint or resin medium. You can either add powder to paint or paint to powder. If you place the powder in the mixing container first and then begin adding paint until you achieve the glow and consistency you need, you’ll have greater control. Apply multiple thin coats of dark in glow powder. Many folks have had good success applying 3-5 coats. Stir and/or shake the paint thoroughly before applying. The glow in dark powder mixture can be applied with brush, roller or paint sponge. If you have further questions you can contact Techno Glow for assistance.
