    Glow in the dark resin

    Does it exist and does anyone know where to order it?

    Tim, there isn't a glow resin, you need the glow additive for clear resin. You mix it with the two parts. It has to be clear resin so light can penetrate and charge the suspended glow additive. For bubble free translucent glow in the dark you need to cast under pressure...


    Here ias where we get the additive

        Hmmmm....

        You can also get luminescent spray. Spray it on after varnishing a painted part and it'll glow.

          I have some glow powder I add to the white resin and it glows super bright and for a long time! I've made a few things out of it. My glow stuff is yellow, not green.

              I added regualr glow in the dark paint to clear resin and mixed and that works too

                Works great, too. I like how that torso you gave me looks when it glows. Super cool!

                        I'm interested in a glow copy of Sideshow's 8-in. Invisible Man.

                        Which casters here use pressure molding?

                        Thanks!
