So, I happened to have some Europium Glow in the dark paint from United Nuclear laying around in my garage, and since I had no other use for it, I decided to mix it with water and seal it in an old pickle jar. The result was a liquid that looks similar to milk, but glows in the dark after beigne x[posed to UV light. Fully charged, this glow pain can glow for 3 hours, so its pretty awesome stuff. Anyways, I took a video:

I think you mean United Nuclear. And it's not a bad price at $10 for a 4oz bottle.

Hmm, how much did you use? I have some of this and a little while ago I put it on a little piece of wood so I had a glow in the dark drawing pad. I want to do this now, I just wonder if it would last long..

I have flourescene concentrate, it glows but I don't think it is phosphorescent, and I have GITD powder, time to experiment... -Glenn

I found a little 3oz. jar of GITD paint at the craft store. I mixed it with a little white latex flat wall paint. I was able to paint a nice sized square, on my celling.
It's a lot of fun to lay in bed with a 405nm and draw little smiley faces.
My wife hates it when I play with lasers in bed. I think she's just jealous. Actually she's lucky I don't paint the hole bedroom;)

hey, yeah the paint will last. if you put it in water over time it slowly collects in a pile at the bottom of a jar. you just gotta shake it ever once in a while to redisolve the paint.
