This luminous paint for watch hands is a ready-mixed glow paste with a fine grain – made for small, precise areas such as hand tips, numerals and hour markers. In daylight the paste is orange, in the dark it glows green – a clear difference between the day and night look.

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

Properties

  • Colour: orange in daylight, green in the dark
  • Afterglow duration: up to 4 hours after a full charge, in complete darkness; slightly weaker than coarser pigments because of the finer grain
  • Fine grain: can be applied precisely with a needle, toothpick or fine brush
  • Ready to use: acrylic-based, no mixing, can be thinned with water if necessary
  • 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 apply the glow paste

  1. Take the paste directly from the bottle with a fine needle, a toothpick or a fine brush and apply it.
  2. Leave to dry and apply a second coat – two coats give a considerably stronger glow.
  3. Has it become too thick? Thin with a little water. Thinning it more reduces the glow.
  4. Close the bottle tightly after use so that 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 luminous paint for watch hands Orange-Green.

Good to know

The paste contains no radioactive substances; it glows solely through stored light. The glow becomes visible in real darkness and is at its strongest 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 directly from the bottle. Once dry, apply a second coat; this strengthens the glow considerably. The paste glows more strongly on a light surface than on a dark one.
How long does Orange-Green glow?
Up to 4 hours – after a full charge, in complete darkness. The paste has a fine grain 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?
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. A UV torch is enough for a quick top-up in between.
Does the paste also last outdoors?
With protection, yes: cover the dried layer with a solvent-based sealant. Without a sealant it is intended for indoor use.
