Help please

Post by diamond lil »

Did I see somewhere on here a dye or marker that is luminous and can be painted on keys and keyholes etc, and that lasts 10 years? I 'm sure it was on here somewhere. I've tried looking on amazon and ebay but just get kids stuff and hair dyes :mrgreen: This stuff was used for tent zippers etc.

There has been a clear UV reactive varnish around for years, available from theatre suppliers. However, Volvo have been developing an invisible-in-daylight paint that glows and is very reactive to direct light that is hitting the market soon.

You can also get a sort of fabric/vinal stuff thats luminos, I was given a sample a few months back. The trouble with all this stuff it it doesn't glow brightly for very long. Charge it with a bright light and it's good for a few hours maybe.
What about the small tritium lights fishermen used as rod tip markers, these glow for years.

This was like car touch-up paint, with a wee brush in the cap, like nail varnish. I cannot find it anywhere. Just have to manage without it :mrgreen: thanks anyway!
