The secrets of cooking luminous paint

The dye is mixed with the substrate in accordance with the type of surface. If necessary, add color. Also in most cases a suitable solvent is poured into the composition - in order to mix the resulting mixture thoroughly. That's the whole secret of cooking glow in the dark paint.

Phosphor should be at least 15%, maximum - 50%. The proportion of solvent should not exceed 1%. The pigment settles frequently, therefore, if the mixture was briefly set aside, a break was made in the work, it is better to mix it again.

It is also important to consider the color of the base. If you have to work with the surface of a dark color, it is better to cover the previously necessary areas with a white primer. It is likely that the dark base will absorb light: the glow will be less intense, the consumption of pigment will increase, and the result will not like it.

    Dramatic changes, good mood, comfort and calm, a surge of strength - this is what should be expected after the change of design, the use of luminous paint, if everything is done correctly.
