Has anyone used Glo in the Dark fabric paint?

Hi
I am fairly new to this board, but I need any advice or help please.
DD12 and I are going to WDW this Halloween weekend and doing the MNNSHP.
I have been kicking around the idea of being a twister game.

Well, the other day at Michael's craft store, I came across glow in the dark fabric paint. So, I was thinking I could use a white shirt and using the glow in the dark fabric paint on it, as well as a white canvas bag-used to get my trick or treat on-and have a design on the bag to look like the spinner part of the game.

Have you used glow in the dark fabric paint? If so, how long did it glow? TIA

It depends on what the active ingredient is in the paint. If it is strontium, it will glow for quite a while. If it is zinc-sulfide the glow will only last 15-20 minutes. It also depends on the amount of layers or paint you use. Of course a thicker layer will last longer than a thinner layer.

It's too bad you can't find black light glow sticks. (I'm not sure if there is such a thing) I think these would help illuminate the glow in the dark paint.

Hope this helps and have fun at MNNSHP!

My friend used glow in the dark fabric paint, but not on fabric. One night, she found that when she turned off her basement studio lights that it was so pitch black, she couldn't even see to turn the light switch back on. So she covered the switch with a thick layer of paint, as well as along the edge of the stairs. It worked great!

I've never used it on fabric, but I've had good results with glow-in-the-dark paint.

I've used it for MNSSHP shirts. I have outlined Mickey heads with a thin line and they glow pretty well. While walking around the parks, there is enough light that they won't "glow" fully. While on the pirates ride though, we were all glowing very nicely.

This year for the first time I used a brush on paint and painted the letters to my nephews shirt. It took several coats, but came out great. I am cleaning my studio today, so I can tell you the brands once I find the paints.

I might have a picture to post of the shirts, in the dark, glowing a little too if that would help.
