Glow Paints

What is everyone using for glow paints? What is the best/brightest brand? I like the looks of the Glow-On paints, they look really bright. Looking for opinions please.

What type of paint are you looking for? All I use anymore is powder paints. Both dipping and airbrushing.

Here is my favorite = http://www.shop.allpowderpaints.com/Neon-Luminous-Glow-In-The-Dark-Colors_c21.htm;jsessionid=9CF0E65100EF9BBE78FB4FD4D7D24634.m1plqscsfapp03

I get pure pigments at http://www.glowinc.com and mix them into clear powder paint. Do-It molds has a nifty 6 pack of glow in color pigments but its pricy. All raw pigments are spendy though. The site Randy mentions has some real nice pre-mix powders but having to buy it by the pound sort of adds up too. I get mine by the ounce at glowinc and mixed into four ounces of clear powder paint it goes a real long way when used as a top coat.

I have tried ALOT of Glow paints and found myself using only powder paints now.

I agree and as Randy posted All Powder is a great powder paint & source weather for glow or regular powder paint

I only use powder paints also, sorry for the confusion. Thanks guys, I’ll check out the websites.

Randy, is it necessary to use a fluid bed with powder paint if you’re not going to bake them?

I can’t really think of a reason not to bake them. I use a $19 toaster oven from Walgreens.

X2 on backing them. I picked up a convection toaster oven at an estate sale for about 20.. If your dipping them in powder, you need to keep the powder very loose and “fluffy”. Otherwise you put it on too thick. I don’t use a fluid bed much, but I have a few years of practice….

If you lose alot of jigs dont bother baking them, BUT If you dont lose many at all, I would always bake them .

The BIGGEST and 2 most important reason for using powder paints is when you bake you get an almost rock hard finish.

I ALWAYS bake… sometimes even twice

JMHO Jeff

I bake all the time. Also, it seems to me that glow powder is a tad more prone to producing cone heads when you bake if you hang by the hook…so apply the powder thinly…that’s why a fluid bed might help in that regard.

I also bake the paint on. Anyone make their own fluid bed?

They are easy. I’ll post pics of mine and a little how to. Super easy.

I don’t bake my personal jigs.. because all I paint are crappie and bluegill jigs (1/100-1/16). I’m not beating rocks or even touching bottom most of the time when fishing these so they will last a week of fishing before they chip.

If I sell any or give any away I always bake them.

I have a fluid bed downstairs somewhere, but never use it. Not needed for what I do.
