Other reviews are correct, it does not glow brightly when painted in one layer. But then, neither do any other traditional glow paints. The newer technology paints are better - but MUCH more expensive. For projects where a little paint must glow a lot (e.g., gun sights), use the newer stuff (Amazon now carries it Ultra Green V10 Glow in the Dark Paint 2Oz) If you can 'layer' this basic paint and use it thickly it will glow very nicely.
It also has a nice latex property which makes it ideal for another creative possibility (which I discovered on my own). I use candy-mold letter shapes. I drip this paint into them to fill them up (completely). Then I let them dry for a week. If they are fully dry, you can peel them out and VIOLA you have thick, 3d, glow letters which can be attached to anything. They will have the consistency of a rubber inner tube. Plus, the thickness will allow them to glow a lot. If you think about this - there are very many different candy (chocolate) molds available, but you have to use the cheap plastic kind. Amazon sells lots, but not all. They have all the letters and numbers you may want and they have a good price. Bigger letters are better, but they use more paint and you also need to buy more molds. I picked up a set of small letters on one sheet to practice.
Here is an example of the bigger letters: CK Products 4-Inch Letters (A,B,C) Chocolate Mold
I also used this to paint the (translucent) shade on my battery operated camp lamp. I did use about 5-6 coats via brush. Now when I turn the lamp off, it will continue to glow for about an hour or two, so I can find it easily. However, I also did this again with another camp lamp but used 'Glowz' spray paint & 5-6 coats. The spray also worked and seemed to bond more securely, but it left an interesting overspray all over my shed.
Morale of the story: It works great for some things, but know what you want to do with it.

This paint sort of, kind of, I guess glows a *little* bit. Maybe you have to put it on specific surfaces, but I have some of it on my white walls and it doesn't really glow.

I used this to paint skeletons for Halloween costumes on black fabric. It was easy to use, and produced a fun faint glow with very little added color (that is, it didn't make my white skeletons look green or anything). We could see the glow clearly under a blacklight, but it worked well after charging in regular indoor light too.

It does glow...
It glows bright, even in low light; however, it only lasts a very short time before it needs to "recharge".

Sticky, collects dirt, useless.
No idea why the price is so high on amazon.
Also the paint glows well but only if it's really thick. It is very sticky after it dries, kind of like rubber. Read more

Fairly Weak
Doesn't glow very long, but this is a fairly inexpensive glow in the dark paint. Was hoping to use it to paint golf balls to hit while at nighttime, just doesn't glow bright enough... Read more

Doesn't work as expected
Sadly, it didn't do much glowing - even after many hours of exposure to sunlight and indoor lighting ... Oh well ... Life goes on!

Like other reviewers this did need to be coated quite a few times for a really good glow, but I liked what it did. Read more
