I've used similar stuff based on aluminum strontiate. It's absurdly powerful. I blend it into epoxy and then pour that into things.



What kinds of things?


My best is a glow-in-the dark Pacman and ghosts. it's a big black plastic board with shapes cut into it with my CNC. Then I backfilled the shapes with the appropriately tinted epoxy which dried in place. Then I have a UV light pointed at the board. At night, you don't see the board, just some glowing figures suspended. Yellow and green work great, blue/red/purple not so much.

I also embed LEDs into epoxy resin that's tinted, which makes the whole thing glow amazingly for very long periods of time.

Just random stuff, really anything that comes into mind.


Id love to see a Show HN from your experiments.
