Hmm... You mean just put plexi with the glow stuff on it behind the opaque plastic? That would work I guess, but I really wanted the design to be flush with the plastic. I guess I could do that, and then fill it in with some silicone or something. That's actually where I was going to get the LED, from a flashlight.

I would suggest that you use the acrylic water based glow in the dark paint alongside your regular acrylics. Clear acrylic overtop is fine.

I was afraid of that. In either event, I still think it'd be cool to use glow-in-the-dark as an accent in my paintings. I use a lot of heavy lines, so maybe I could use the glowing paint for outlining. I'm very new to the website and the products - Is there a guide somewhere that could tell me how to use the glowing paint in acrylic paint? Is that possible? Mixing the powder into light colored acrylic paint? Or should I use the...

You should be able to just paint or screen print your image onto the plexi glass and use the led as an edge light. That should work for both glow and fluorescent paint/pigment. Where are you getting 365 nm LEDs? I can't seem to find them except for as part of whole flashlights.

I would like to do this, i own a 405nm 50mW laser. I was wondering if it charges all the colors available. And how well it writes on them how long the glow remains? My goal was to purchase 3 colors of paint and apply them to some sort of 5x5 fabric(maybe another foldable portable material suggestions?) to make graffiti art. I was thinking 3-4 1/2 FL OZ would be enough, no?
