When will the ''Ultra Bright Glow in the Dark Paint - Violet 30mL'' be in stock again ?

Cheers, Sm...

At the moment I ran into a problem with the formula for violet paint, I'm going to have to do additional testing to make a new formula for it. I'll post another update if I get the problem solved.

What kind of epoxy do you recommend mixing the powder in to get the best results when using it on lasers; I.e focusing rings or hosts in general. I dont want to use something that will cracknor chip off easily....sorry if this has been said before but looked around and all I saw was powder mixed in epoxy but no specific epoxy

I use clear gorilla epoxy but any clear epoxy should work fine

Clarity in my opinion is the biggest factor, light needs to get in and out for it to work so you should try to find one that's nice and clear. Home depot sells "15 minute" 2 part epoxy in syringes which works pretty well and it's extraordinarily durable.

I use fix it pro, a scratch remover for cars, to mix glow power and mod with it. It uses uv to set, so you mix a little with the powder, place it in/on what u want, shape it or wipe excess, then lase it with your 405.

I like this because you got all the time you need to get it just right, or wipe off if you mess up. Then you use your 405 pen to harden it.

Here were i found out how to do this.

nice, the more colors the better!

based on the chart above from your website it looks like you get the best glow from ~480nm so would this mean that you get a better, quicker, brighter, longer glow from a 445nm than from a 405nm?

The wavelength charts are the emission wavelengths of the glow, the glow powders can all be charged with anything between 300-500nm though it varies slightly by color. 400 is more or less the optimal wavelength to use, and 445nm works very well.

The peak of the chart corresponds to what color you'll see in real life along the spectrum at the bottom, it gives you a better idea of what it will really look like as cameras don't do the best job at picking up glow in the dark.
