I would like to paint onto a black duvetyn drape and not have the paint visible.
I’d be using the drape in a dark area and then turn the ultraviolet source on.
Is there a “special” paint or will all of the black light paints to this?

Invisible black light paint..........
Fri, June 8, 2007 - 1:13 PMWell,yes,it is available,but god is it expensive-if you try this stuff,try it on a patch first.
Apparently it is milky,except for the blue-you may get away with very light coats.
And somewhere,I don't seem to be able to find it,I found invisible black light spray paint.

Wed, July 18, 2007 - 7:28 PMTry a Rit dye called "Rit Brightener". It is the same stuff found in laundry detergent, so you will only get a blue color. But it's cheap!

Thu, July 19, 2007 - 2:48 AMDharma Trading sells "Dr. Ph. Martin's Twilight Glow" blacklight paint for fabric.
www.dharmatrading.com/html/en...AA.shtml
They say this is "very transparent, so doesn't look like much in the daytime" - unlike the other UV reactive paints they carry.
I haven't tried it myself, but it won't break the bank. Let us know if it works ; ^ )

Sun, July 22, 2007 - 11:40 PMI'm a blacklight artist and fanatic! There are invisible uv paints, those that are readily available are not completely invisible due to the medium that is used to carry the pigments.
-Wildfire [www.wildfirefx.com/product_lupaint.aspx They are pricy, but if you apply them with an airbrush, it goes much further. They will look milky when applied.
-Shannon Luminous Maerials, [www.blacklite.com] They sell the pigments, invisible laquers, etc. and are just great guys.
Have fun:-)

Mon, July 23, 2007 - 10:27 PMtry soaking the drape in Woolight.
Yep, that sweater stuff. Woolight is BL reactive. (Try it).
Glows blue green.
It's cheap, and gentle on the fabric.
Good Luck -

Typically bluing used to counter the yellowing effects of age.

Wed, January 16, 2008 - 10:08 PMClearneon.com Is awesome, I don't know how long it will last. They say it's permanent, but my feeling is it will burn out if subjected to any sunlight, but it is completely invisible. -

Re: Black light effect
Thu, January 17, 2008 - 9:20 AMwe've discoverd that hot glue is highly UV reactive. Not totally invisible though.
I also regularly use a UV hairspary in my hair, can't see it when there is no UV source, but it glows like mad when there is. It would be very easy to spray on, don't know its lifetime though as I usually wash it out of my hair. Also have found that many glo in the dark paints are also UV reactive. -

Thu, January 17, 2008 - 12:38 PMAll glow in the dark products will glow under a black light-both are compounds whose outer rings get very excited under the light,the glow in the dark ones just last longer.
Love those excitable outer rings
Excitable ring,they all said.......................
Apologies to Warren Zevon
