Glow-In-The-Dark Vinyl

[TheSnowman]

I ordered some of this stuff that Feller's sells, and I have no clue how long it'll last, should be a while since it's indoors, and the stuff is crazy expensive...but you lay that down for your background and then lay vinyl on top of it...that stuff is SO AWESOME.

We did some for a factory here in town that needed signs for if the power went out...I thought it'd be neat...but was blown away at how much this stuff lights up. So anyway, I recommend it...not sure about outdoor applications yet.

But doesn't it only glow for about a half hour before it needs more light in order to glow again?

The vinyl is made for emergency signs. I think they assume that if there's an emergency you're gonna get the heck out before the glow fades.

This stuff glows like a dang lightbulb for about 12 hours.....and the price shows it.

Yea, it's mega bright for about a minute, then it slowly fades...but yea, the idea is to find the exit in a panic (or in this case make sure that they don't go out the NOT EXIT'S). It's not a lightbulb, but it's a somewhat affordable way to do glow in the dark.

At first I was just going to cut the letters, but then it became almost like working with reflective, so I figured I'd just lay it down with the big squeegee and put black letters on top of it...worked like a charm and glowed way more.
