Title: another glow source
Post by: ctom on 01/05/13 18:34 UTC

For those who have been putting off using glow powders because of the cost, here's another source to consider.

Much cheaper per ounce. I haven't used any of these but I think that the pigments are going to be ok for plastics. I'm going to order a couple of colors I do not have from the glowinc location.

I was reading and it says it take 1/4 ounce for 1 ounce of plastic. Isn't that a lot?

Any update on someone having tried this? Or should I be the guinea pig?

412....

I'd bet that the 1/4 ounce per ounce of plastic is meant to read 1 cup of plastic.

I've been seeing some banter elsewhere about this and people are seeing some decent results but I have held off yet. Actually I have enough glow on hand to rig a nuclear submarine for running under the ice cap for 6 months. I do glow jigs quite often as well as the glow plastics. I'll be ok with my current stores for a time yet but I think I might try a couple of new colors and they'll be coming from this alternate site just to check them out from strength and longevity of glow.

Been getting way to many requests for glow so I have to give them what they want :)

So I placed an order with this company and was pleased to see they offer free shipping on orders over 50. Thought I'd share.

So a slight report on glow nation glow. So far I tried 3/4 tsp in 4 ounces of plastic and it glowed just fine but I'm thinking of going up to 1tsp. It could just be that the white glow isn't very strong in general. Still learning.

Here's a picture of white glow with 3/4 tsp in 4 ounce. Is this a normal amount of glow for white or should I go heavier?
