PEBEO Phosphorescent Gel is an ideal choice for artists and crafters looking to incorporate glow-in-the-dark effects into their projects on wood, canvas, or plaster. This acrylic medium excels at adding luminosity to artwork by absorbing light during the day and emitting a distinct green glow at night; however, users should note that the intensity of the glow is directly dependent on the thickness of the application and the amount of light exposure the material receives.

Yes, it is designed to be mixed with acrylic colors to add a glow effect, though highly opaque paints may reduce the luminosity.
It can be used on outdoor surfaces like wood, provided they are in a sheltered area, as the product is not explicitly labeled as weatherproof.
The duration of the glow depends on the intensity of the light charge and the thickness of the application.
Pebeo acrylic media are generally formulated for art use, but you should always refer to the specific safety data on the product packaging.
You can add a small amount of water to change the consistency, but excessive thinning will decrease the density of the phosphorescent particles and reduce the glow effect.
Apply a thicker layer of the gel or ensure the piece has been exposed to direct light for a longer duration.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and porous; the gel does not bond well to non-porous or waxy surfaces.
High humidity or extremely thick applications may extend the curing time; allow for an additional 24 hours in a dry, ventilated area.
To begin, ensure your surface (wood, plaster, paper, or canvas) is clean and dry. Shake the tube gently before use. You may apply the gel with a brush, sponge, or painting knife. Because the medium is acrylic-based, tools can be cleaned with soap and water while the product is still wet. Avoid applying this gel to non-porous surfaces like glass or plastic, as adhesion may be compromised. Store the product in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly secured to prevent the gel from hardening inside the tube.
