This has been one of the most frustrating threads to read from the very beginning
So much research that the OP could/should have done on his own.
Step 1: Lookup the excitation wavelength range for your glow-in-the-dark surface
Step 2: Ask yourself "Is (insert wavelength of laser you're considering) between (insert excitation wavelength range from Step 1) ?"
Step 3: If the answer is yes, buy laser.
yeah it happens-done it myself-usually after another has necro-posted but I guess that is no excuse-I read one from 2009 about a laser delayed in shipping-- After I saw the date and a new post I had to post --'if its not there in one more year then give up'--OK?
sometimes tho an old thread becomes important in light of recent events.
