The glow in the dark varnish is ready to use: stir, paint, charge with light. In daylight green is whitish with a slight green tint and barely noticeable on light surfaces; in the dark it glows green – one of the strongest shades in our varnish range. Ideal for starry skies, light switch surrounds or markings on doors and steps.

How to paint it correctly

  1. Clean the surface and let it dry. You can paint highly absorbent surfaces such as wallpaper, paper or wood directly; prime smooth surfaces such as glass or painted metal first.
  2. Stir the varnish thoroughly, especially at the bottom of the tin – the glow pigments settle over time.
  3. Apply with a brush or roller, approx. 40 µm per coat. The varnish is dry after approx. 1 hour, and you can apply the next coat after approx. 1 hour. 3–4 coats give the strongest afterglow.
  4. Outdoors, additionally seal the dried layer with clear varnish – the glow varnish itself is not weatherproof.

Tip: The lighter the surface, the more strongly the varnish glows. Prime dark surfaces white first.

What's included

1 metal tin with 250 ml of glow in the dark varnish green, ready to use.

Good to know

Afterglow is an aid for orientation and effects, not a light source: it becomes visible in real darkness. Low odour, acrylic-based. You will find the safety data sheet and the technical data sheet with application notes in the downloads on this page.

Frequently asked questions

How many coats do I need?
3–4 coats for the strongest afterglow, approx. 40 µm per coat. You can apply the next coat after approx. 1 hour. You can paint absorbent surfaces directly; prime smooth surfaces first.
Can I use the glow varnish outdoors?
The varnish is intended for indoor use and is not weatherproof. Outdoors, additionally seal the dried layer with a clear varnish. The glow is only visible where it is really dark.
Why has something settled at the bottom of the tin?
Those are the glow pigments. They are heavier than the varnish and sink over time. Stir thoroughly right down to the bottom before painting, and they will be distributed again.
Can you see the varnish by day?
Barely. In daylight it has a very light, greenish shimmer and looks almost transparent, similar to dried liquid glue. The thicker you apply it, the more visible and opaque it becomes.
Which varnish colour glows strongest?
Green and blue-green with a whitish daylight colour glow the strongest and longest. For technical reasons, tinted shades such as orange, and the white, glow weaker and for a shorter time.
