Glow in the dark and UV reactive stuff
Here is a small variety of glow in the dark and UV reactive stuff, some of which I got recently, while it is not specifically "fluorescent minerals" I kinda feel it fits in somewhat with the "UV lights" aspect of the thread as a side topic since UV lights are good to charge glow in the dark stuff quickly and of course are used with UV reactive stuff.
(at the bottom of this post I will share related links)
First here are 2 older bottles of glow in the dark paint many years old, the larger dimmer bottle was actually from a dollar store (the dollar store paint is not real bright, buy hey, it was only a dollar
)
For comparison here is a much more recent purchase of glow in the dark paint, it is extra bright from the Europium in the paint, it is shown in normal light uncharged, then in the dark after being charged with my UV Beast flashlight, then shown with a blue-violet laser pointed at it
Here are a couple rolls of peel and stick glow in the dark tape
Here is a pair of glow in the dark socks I recently got as a free sample, first pic is in regular light, 2nd pic is in the dark not too long after charging with the UV Beast flashlight, they do seem to be nice socks, but I was somewhat disappointed they didn't glow stronger, but I am thankful for the free sample regardless
(I had to edit the glow photo below some as the camera was not sensitive enough to capture it as it looked in person, it might even had been slightly brighter, but this is closer than how dark the camera had it)
I read where tonic water was UV reactive so when I saw a bottle in the store for only about 89 cents (I think) I bought it just for using as a UV reactive item
Here is a free sample of UV reactive carpet (18 inches by 18 inches), first pic is under regular light, 2nd pic under UV light (UV Beast flashlight), 3rd pic I shined the blue-violet laser pointer across it,
NOTE: as with some UV reactive items, the reactive effect seems to look better in person than in the pic.
(I showed my wife the sample and mentioned how neat the dining room area would look with it, she didn't agree
but I had to ask
)
NOTE: they recommend painting the glow in the dark paint over a white area for maximum glow, if it is not white, just paint it white before adding the glow in the dark paint, I got this bottle of white paint at the dollar store.
Also, if using glow in the dark paint outside they recommend covering it with a clear acrylic coat when dry to protect it from the weather.
