The glow varnish is ready to use: stir, paint, charge with light. Orange already shows an orange shade in daylight and glows light orange to salmon in the dark. To be honest: as a tinted shade, orange glows clearly more weakly and for a shorter time than green or blue-green – it is chosen mainly for its daylight colour.

Properties

  • Type: ready-to-use acrylic-based glow varnish – stir, paint, done
  • Surfaces: paper, cardboard, wallpaper, canvas, wood, stone, rubber and glass
  • Application: with a brush or roller, approx. 40 µm per coat; 3–4 coats for maximum afterglow; one tin covers over 2.5 m² with three coats
  • Colour: orange by day, light orange to salmon in the dark
  • Charging: with daylight or lamplight, fastest with UV light or sun
  • Origin: Made in Germany

How to paint 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 maximum afterglow.
  4. Outdoors, also seal the dried coat with clear varnish – the glow varnish itself is not weatherproof.

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

What's included

1 metal tin with 250 ml glow varnish orange, 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 can find the safety data sheet and the technical data sheet with application instructions in the downloads on this page.

Frequently asked questions

How many coats do I need?
3–4 coats for maximum 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, also seal the dried coat 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.
Why does orange glow more weakly than green?
The orange tint absorbs part of the light, and the eye perceives the orange afterglow less easily. For a strong, long glow, choose green or blue-green.
Which varnish colour glows most strongly?
Green and blue-green with a whitish daylight colour glow most strongly and longest. For technical reasons, tinted shades such as orange, and the white, glow more weakly and for a shorter time.
