DecoArt - Glow-in-the-Dark Medium

Glow-in-the-Dark Medium

Charge your artwork under light and watch it glow in the dark

Acrylic paint glows only while wet, the luminescence disappears as it dries. DecoArt's Glow-in-the-Dark Medium changes that. Mix it with your regular acrylics to create paint that charges under normal room lighting and glows afterward, perfect for ceiling constellations, theatrical props, or Halloween projects that need genuine after-dark visibility. The medium works best with transparent or light-value colors since heavy pigments block the phosphorescent effect.

Application flexibility defines this medium's utility. Use it straight for stenciled designs on walls, or blend it with appropriate binders for different surfaces: combine with Fabric Medium for costumes that glow through multiple wash cycles, or mix with acrylics for wood, papier-mâché, glass, ceramics, even Styrofoam. The glow recharges repeatedly with light exposure, natural or artificial, making pieces functional rather than single-use novelties.

Clean brushes with soap and water. The medium maintains DecoArt's non-toxic formulation, suitable for projects where safety matters alongside effect. Skip the glow-in-the-dark paints with predetermined colors; mix your own palette and control both hue and luminescence intensity.
