Thank you so much for doing this comparison. It's nice to see that the "10x" glow wasn't just a marketing gimmick.

[@magicallymj]

You are very welcome! I definitely had to know so I was happy to test them out 😄

[@ClyFaker]

@@magicallymj I'm using some to color resin, since I've had bad luck with glow powders settling to the bottom of my molds. Giving the basic DecoArt paint a go right now after being let down by Folk Art, and it's looking good. Now you've convinced me to pick up the 10x. 😆

Thanks! I'm working on a project and that was very helpfull!

I bought the “ultimate glow” for black hands and white telltale wheel of a 1930s art deco wall clock I’m restoring, and it shows up well on both when energized with enough light. I did apply four or five _heavy_ coats to each, and it’s taken a long time for the paint to fully cure, but with that amount of coverage, the black enamel on the hands doesn’t prevent the glow. Looks just like the radium paint glow from that era. I tested putting a layer of clear coat acrylic over top of the paint to protect it, and it does not negatively affect the glow paint’s performance

[@magicallymj]

Ok first of all, you restored a 1930s art deco clock?! That sounds amazing!! Secondly, I love the idea of adding the Ultimate Glow to it and it sounds stunning! I am so glad that it worked out well for you. Its good to know that the clear coat didn't negatively affect it, that was one of my concerns. Thank you very much for sharing your experience and knowlege. ❤️

[@davidpar2]

@@magicallymjcurrently working on a 1930s art deco electric desk/mantel clock from Sweden which has white hands, and I will be putting the ultimate glow on the tips of them. 90 year old 220v clock that runs like new. Brown bakelite case is dull, will be clear coating it with Aleene’s pearlescent. Tested it on a spare, similar piece of bakelite, and it produces a shimmery sheen that isn’t tacky or cheesy looking. Update: The pearlescent product itself is great, but it gums up the spray can, even when you clean out the tip, and you’re never able to finish it. So an A for the product quality and an F for the packaging and usability

[@mikentx57]

The black canvas does not work as well because the light from the glow paint that goes downwards is absorbed by the black paint. Not reflected back up like the white canvas does.

[@magicallymj]

Yes, I suppose when you put it that way it makes perfect sense. But the bottles do not specifically mention that it must be on a white base, and thats why showing both results was important. Now we know for sure 😃

[@mikentx57]

I realized my comment sounded a little preachy so I edited it. Sorry it is late here. Thanks for this videos. It really did help a lot. I have a project that I want to find a very good glow in the dark paint for.

[@magicallymj]

@@mikentx57 that is so sweet of you, I understood what you meant. Thank you so much for watching and for saying so. I hope you get some rest where you are. 💜💜

[@garagebandsfindlay2296]

I have a off the wall question how do you think this glow paint would work on a guitar neck to brighten up the dots on the edge of the neck. and how long does the glow last?

[@magicallymj]

I think that the DecoArt Ultimate would work nicely. But the glow will glow no long than an hour - if you're looking for something that lasts longer I would recommend LIT by Culture Hustle. It's extremely bright and can last anywhere from 2-4 hours (based on an experiment I did recently)

[@garagebandsfindlay2296]

@@magicallymj Thank you very much

[@magicallymj]

@@garagebandsfindlay2296 you are very welcome 😄

[@hadleymanmusic]

Oh the work! Ive found for budget folkart neutral minimum 8 coats gives an even smooth finish. None are real bright. Im mixed media anyway

[@magicallymj]

Sounds very cool!

[@haleymattes4646]

@magicallyMJ decoart is clearly best.. I am painting on top of pink/purple acrylic and I'm painting the Cheshire smile. Should I paint a white smile before using the glow paint?

[@magicallymj]

I would definitely recommend painting the white base first. I bet it's going to look so cool!!

[@Photogratiz]

I bought for the tissue and i don't know how to use it, should i mix it with paint or i should apply it first then use paint after.

[@magicallymj]

Im sorry, Im a little confussed as to what your project is. Are you trying to use the glow paint on tissue paper?

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

The white canvas definitely helps

[@magicallymj]

Oh yea for sure! White is perfect for the glow properties, science is so cool lol

[@danextreme3720]

if you’ve already coated a painting with craftsmart can you put deco art on top of it?

[@magicallymj]

As long as it's dry, I don't see why not 😁

[@phillipperez3358]

I'd love to use this for a school project. Are you using normal interior lighting? Or are these being charges with UV?

[@magicallymj]

Regular interior lighting 😄

[@phillipperez3358]

@@magicallymj Wow. Thank you! That's an amazing amount of glow with just regular lighting.

[@magicallymj]

@phillipperez3358 My lights are white, not the yellow tinted ones. Obviously, the more exposure they have, the brighter it will glow ✨️

[@hananahanna2671]

Are there different colors available?

[@magicallymj]

These ones are just the regular glow shades. I did a review just before this one where I did the DecoArt Glow Paints and those come in 5 colors - Purple, Blue, Orange, Green and Aqua And I have a review in production for the folkart glow in the dark colors, they have standard rainbow shades 🌈💖

[@jayteadesigns]

I've never worked with glow paints so this may sound like a stupid question, but are these paints always to be used as-is, or can different colors be mixed with them, or do they come in different colors?

[@magicallymj]

Not stupid at all! These can definitely be mixed together. But lighter colors are supposed to work best. I'm actually in the planning stages for a review where I mix them together, it should be out this month. And there are a few brands that have actual colored paint that glows too. I did a review recently for the DecoArt Glow Paints, those come on 5 colors and I think they're beautiful. I also just got my hands on the Folkart Glow In The Dark Paints, those come in 7 colors and I will have a review out soon for those too. 😊 Feel free to ask me anything you wish and I'll do my best to answer. Thanks very much for watching 💖💖

[@hadleymanmusic]

From the work ive done you want a bright base coat multiple glow coats are needed and if you want your paint color use a ink or a clear acrylic ( like glass clear) for budget i get the multicolored waterbased dollarstore pens.

[@hb1072]

Does the glow in the dark wear off ?

[@magicallymj]

Well eventually the glow stops glowing depending on how much light was shinning on it.. you can see in my video where the craft smart one faded while filming but the ultimate lasted a few hours after filming. But I've got tons of lights in my shop since I'm in a basement I need all the help I can get, so my effects might last longer than if you were just using sunlight. Thank you for watching and if you've got any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

[@hb1072]

@@magicallymj so the painting should be kept in a dark space or atleast covered in order for the glow to not dye down right ? Also have you ever mixed the glow paint with regular acrylic or is it better to buy colored glow paint ? And if so do you have any good recommendations for colored paint that glows in the dark.

[@magicallymj]

@@hb1072 it will need light to charge up but once it is in the dark it should glow for quite awhile, but im not sure that keeping it in a darker place would make the glow last longer. I have not tried mixing alot of glow paint with other acrylic colors, but I did try it once for an acrylic pour. I think I had the craft smart on hand so I mixed that into green Artists loft. I definitely did not see an added glow so I never tried that again. But, I have done a review of the DecoArt Glow paints. They come in 5 colors and the glow is pretty awesome. I have a mini canvas on my desk that I painted the glow colors on and every time I turn my light off it glows. I definitely recommend trying them. You can watch that review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2q2nZeGa8emgsU

[@hb1072]

@@magicallymj thanks you so much!!! Will definitely watch it !!! Last question 😅 but do you think the paint will glow the same (have the same affect) like it does on the canvas if I used glass instead ? I want to use the paint for a glass art project.

[@magicallymj]

@@hb1072 I love the questions! I just read the bottles and none of them specifically mention glass but they do say that it should work on a wide variety of surfaces and "more" so I believe it should work on glass. If you want, I could do a video of a trial run so you can see how it would turn out?

[@sodanotsolved]

If you mix normal acrylic paint with glow paint will it still glow? (Like mixing pink acrylic paint with this glow paint to make a pink glow)

[@magicallymj]

It can work but the color you choose should be thin and light. I did 2 experiment videos that would probably be useful for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWWTfqamf79mp6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4rLoJ5_fNucrq8

[@maymon368]

How long did it last for? Also is there other colors of glow in the dark like purple ?

[@magicallymj]

The ultimate glow lasts for several minutes depending on how much light it got beforehand. There are a few color options, I haven't tried them all yet but I do have a video review of Folk Arts Glow paint. That one has a purple 💜😄

[@maymon368]

@@magicallymj OOOO Thank you! I am wondering whether I can put it on a poster but not sure if it will last the night

[@magicallymj]

@@maymon368 I think it would be cool, if you have a white base the glow will last longer than on a darker base. It might not last fir hours, but it will definitely be awesome 😎

Good review,...well done. Why couldn't anyone else do a review and show "thier" own example instead of posting pictures and talking about what "others" have said? I just wish you would have mentioned ALL the products used at the end and showed them face up against a white poster or wall (instead of laying them sideway).

[@jerikarason2339]

Isn't the idea to add the Glow in the Dark is to go on top of a regular painting already painted.

[@magicallymj]

That is one option, but these bottles say they can be mixed into colors and they can be used on their own.
