  4. If you want some really long glowing paint or powder or spray I would suggest: www.GlowInc.com
    I bought some 18 hour glow paint from them for crystals and omg the way they glow in the dark for hours is amazing!
    They have many different colors that glow for as little as 15 minutes all the way to 18 hours!

  6. Doesn't it get a bit crowded sticking your brush and hand in there to make those pretty designs. Makes me wonder how, for example, the swirls came out so well?

    1. You paint the jar slowly, do one color, let it dry, do the next and so on.

    2. you do the bottom first, so it does not get smudged

  13. These paints are all strontium aluminate. Very safe, non radioactive. The color of the particular paint is determined by the trace elements present. Some colors, like red, only glow a short time. Others, like blue, glow for hours. It's not recommended to mix the colors together. That generally results in indistinct mud. It's better to buy the secondary colors you want rather than try to mix them from primaries.
