The luminous paint for watch hands is a ready-mixed glow paste with a fine particle size – made for small, precise areas such as hand tips, numerals and hour markers. In daylight the paste is tinted blue; in the dark it glows blue. Strongly tinted shades glow for a shorter time than the whitish natural shades.

Also for model making, jewellery, electronics and small markings on switches or keys that should stay recognisable at night.

Properties

  • Colour: blue in daylight, blue in the dark
  • Afterglow duration: up to 2 hours after a full charge, in complete darkness; slightly weaker than coarser pigments due to the finer particle size
  • Fine particle size: can be applied precisely with a needle, toothpick or fine brush
  • Ready to use: acrylic-based, no mixing required, can be thinned with water if needed
  • Surfaces: metal, glass, plastic, wood, paper, stone and many more
  • Charging: with daylight, lamp light or UV light, as often as you like
  • Origin: Made in Germany

How to use the glow paste

  1. Take the paste straight from the bottle with a fine needle, a toothpick or a fine brush and apply it.
  2. Let it dry and apply a second coat – two coats give a much stronger glow.
  3. Too thick? Thin with a little water. Thinning it more reduces the glow.
  4. Close the bottle tightly after use so the paste does not dry out.

Tip: The lighter the surface, the stronger the glow. Prime dark hands in a light colour first. For outdoor use, cover the dried layer with a solvent-based sealant.

What's included

1 glass bottle with screw cap containing approx. 2 g of luminous paint for watch hands Blue-Blue.

Good to know

The paste contains no radioactive substances; it glows solely from stored light. The glow is visible in real darkness and is at its most intense in the first few minutes after charging. You will find the safety data sheet in the downloads.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply the glow paste to watch hands?
With a fine needle, a toothpick or a fine brush, straight from the bottle. Once dry, apply a second coat; this strengthens the glow considerably. On a light surface the paste glows more strongly than on a dark one.
How long does Blue-Blue glow?
Up to 2 hours – after a full charge, in complete darkness. The paste has a fine particle size and therefore glows slightly more weakly than coarser pigments. Tinted shades glow for a shorter time than the whitish natural shades such as Natural Green or Natural Blue-Green.
Is the glow paste radioactive?
No. The paste contains neither radium nor tritium – like all modern glow pigments. The glow comes solely from stored light.
What do I charge the paste with?
Any light source. It is fastest with UV light from 365 nm (2–4 minutes) or sunlight (6–9 minutes); under a fluorescent lamp it takes about 20–24 minutes. For a quick top-up in between, a UV torch is enough.
Does the paste also hold up outdoors?
Yes, with protection: coat the dried layer with a solvent-based sealant. Without a sealant it is intended for indoor use.
