Guide

How to Use Glow-in-the-Dark Powder

Everything you need to know about mixing photoluminescent pigment for stunning results

Mix glow powder with clear or transparent mediums such as paint, resin, epoxy, urethane, plastic, glass, nail polish, clay, rubber, film-forming cement sealers, silicone, glue, powder coating, spray paint, or any topical clear coating. Use plastic, ceramic, or glass mixing containers and utensils.

Avoid mixing with opaque colors — it will diminish the glow effect.

33%	1 : 3	30 g powder to 90 ml clear medium

Applications

Application Methods

Resin & Epoxy

The 25% ratio works well. Pigment settles to the bottom, leaving a nice clear top that can be sanded and buffed. Most clear resins won't block light, enhancing the glow.

Heat & Dip Powder Paint

Mix 1 oz glow powder with 2 oz clear powder paint and shake thoroughly. Heat the jig, dip 2–3 times. For brighter results, first dip into a white powder coat base.

General Applications

Glow powder works with paint, polyurethane, glue, rubber, silicone, and more. Multiple layers produce brighter, more even results. Too low of a ratio can cause an uneven and spotty glow. Testing various ratios is recommended for commercial and manufacturing purposes.
