Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I have tried the glow on the dark paint, it has never worked for me..
Maybe I need to do more layers?
That is so clever. Does the glow int the dark paint come in other colors as well? Smart girl.
Does this actually radiate enough light so you can see around the space if you get up in the nighttime?
