Rust-Oleum 342598 Glow in The Dark Spray Paint, 10 oz

I use this to make miniature Ouija boards to sell on ebay. I used to use the spray can version but my local Home Depot doesn't sell it anymore (and the spray can version was a lot of work)Knowing that the spray can version worked well (after several coats) I opted for the paint brush on version. I got out my sheet of paper, taped it down, and started painting. I test the glow function after every coat, but after SIX coats this stuff still wasn't glowing, AT ALL. However I did notice two TINY sand sized specs of bright glow on my paper, so I was very confused. I hopped onto the reviews to see what others were saying (I didn't read them before purchasing like I usually do...) Anyway, SO MANY bad reviews. After reading through them I figured out my problem... STIR, DON'T SHAKE!I had been shaking the can like I would do with regular paint, if it looked good and mixed I thought it was good. I ended up using half a can before I figured out I should try stirring it... I got out a set of Panda Express chop sticks from my drawer and started to stir, immediately I felt the resistance at the bottom of the can, a hard clump of substance (the stuff that makes this glow). I stirred and stirred til it was smooth, THEN I put the lid on and shook the can for good measure... VOILA! It works now! (you still need a few coats tho, I will try using Rustoleum primer on my next batch like the can recommends to see if that helps)So STIR, DON'T SHAKE! (Well, shaking after you stir is obviously fine...)

I would give it zero stars it doesn't workDon't buy

Fast shipping and quality product

Product glowed fine once I figured out that all the glow in the dark was stuck to the inside of the can. And I mean stuck. It took a lot of force with a stir stick to get all of it unstuck from the entire inside of the can. Stir very thoroughly. Once you get it unstuck from the can, stir a lot to homogonize it. Then put the cap back on and shake it a bunch. It might work to throw some half inch or so steel spheres (ball bearings?) into the can to help break up the glow clumps but not until one has unstuck the glow from the inside of the can. I did multiple coats and used more than half the can to coat about three square feet (.25 square meters) Had I known about the stuck glow part, i probably could have coated more area. Like the song says, I'm stuck like glow... The manufacturer should probably use a non-stick coated can for this product.Once I had a finished product, I found the product was nicely activated by ultraviolet - either a 'blue' laser cat toy from amazon or a 'black' light. once activated, shining a red laser at it will make it temporarily blow more brightly then darken. Works best if the laser is powerful or the red laser cat toy is moved slowly. One can either write on it with the blue laser or activate the whole surface and write on it with a red laser... A room full of college students each with a red, green or blue cat toy were entertained for a few minutes... Brightness of its glow drops off pretty quickly but possibly still visibly glowing hours later? Didn't watch it that long.

The can holds more than it looks. Painted the entire sides of my stairs and still have plenty left. Easy to paint on with no horrible smell. Lay it on thick and the color will glow nicely after charged. Doesn't take long to dry.

just like the title says it glows well and for a good amount of time. i used this to spray paint a scary face on a pumpkin which was then set in the vicinity of a black light UV source. i did this in a bit of a rush actually as trick or treaters started arriving so it could have been better although it came out pretty good. two things you should put multiple coats on to get a solid glow and also beware of dripping like when you use any other spray paint. other than that no complaints.

I was expecting excellent performance from this spray paint, but alas. I sprayed several layers of this optimistically-named Glow in the Dark paint onto plastic cardboard cutouts. Even after significant sun exposure that day, barely any glow at night. Bummed.

Absolutely terrible! Hardly any pressure in the can and the paint DOES NOT glow in the dark! Never buy!
