I'm looking for glow in the dark paper, or UV reactive items like the one in the picture attached. If you know where I can get them please shoot me a link.

If you are just looking for it to "react" any white paper will do. If you want it to "glow" after the light is extinguished, do a Google search for "glow in the dark" materials. There are LOTS of sources for these materials.

Peace,
dave

I just Googled "glow in the dark paper." I got >7000 hits with multiple retail outlets listed. I don't think you are telling me the truth.

on national geographic chanel lastnight they showed the mother of all PHOSPHORESCENT materials. It is the blue Hope Diamond. when it is exposed to uv light it glows red for about 10 seconds after the light source has been removed. It is also electrically conductive.

thanks
michael.

I got several colors of phosphorescent acrylic paint at the craft store for like $3 each.

The "glow Paint" is fluorescent in UV but does not glow after you remove the laser. It can glow colors that are different from that of the paint itself

The "glow in the dark" is phosphorescent. The green can glow for hours. Other colors glow for a shorter time.

I painted sheets of foam core, so you can write on it.

One of my older TVs will glow. In a dark room with the TV off you can move the dot all over the screen then turn the laser off and you can see lines like above where the laser was.

Nice...I will try here!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

This happens because of the phosphor present in the screen that is excited by UV radiation emitted by the blue-ray.

I think IKEA has glow in the dark cups. That will light up and glow after you shine your laser.
