FAQs
How long does the glow effect last?
The glow effect lasts for several hours after being exposed to light. The intensity and duration depend on the amount of light absorbed and the number of paint layers applied.
How do I activate the glow effect?
Expose the painted item to a light source (sunlight or artificial light) for a few minutes. The glow will become visible when the item is in complete darkness.
Can I use this paint on paper or other surfaces?
While primarily designed for fabric, this paint may adhere to some porous surfaces. However, its washability and durability are guaranteed only on fabric.
What is the best way to store the paint?
Store the paint bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use.
Is the paint safe for children's clothing?
Yes, the paint is nontoxic and safe for use on children's clothing, provided it is applied according to the instructions and allowed to cure properly.
How many coats of paint are recommended for a strong glow?
For a noticeable glow, one coat is usually sufficient. For a more intense and longer-lasting glow, applying two to three thin coats is recommended, allowing each to dry in between.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Shake the bottle vigorously. If still clumpy, the paint may be too old or exposed to air. Try a different bottle.
Glow effect is weak
Ensure the paint has been exposed to light for an adequate period before entering darkness. Apply a second or third coat to build intensity. Check that the paint is indeed the glow-in-the-dark variant.
Paint is not adhering well
Make sure the fabric was pre-washed without fabric softener and is completely dry. For better adhesion, iron the fabric before painting. Ensure the paint is not applied too thickly, which can hinder drying and adhesion.
Paint smears during application
Allow each layer to become touch-dry before applying the next. Use a thinner application for each coat. Avoid touching the painted area until fully dry.
