Hi guys,

In this tutorial y'all will larn how to make glow in the dark glass / glasses my way! They are awesome and glow beautifully in the dark! I actually came up with this idea well-nigh a year and a half agone or and so during ane of my creative moments :-) I only idea it would be super entertaining to bring them to parties and have drinks with my friends.. and they were really impressed! Anybody loves them! :-)

OK, let's get started!

Step i: You Volition Need...

Crystal resin (I used Gedeo Crystal resin)- bought on Amazon

safety gloves

stirring sticks

mixing cups - from Ebay

glow in the dark pigment pulverisation - I bought this a while ago from Ebay and the powders I used were cyan and light-green. I found the greenish one was more intensive and bright.

(I have used nigh a tablespoon of the glow in the night pulverization to 40ml of resin)

kitchen towels

glasses or articulate plastic cups of your option (with at to the lowest degree slightly inverted dome on the lesser)

rubbing alcohol/ soapy water

something to protect your surface when working with resin, I but used a slice of cardboard

Stride two: Clean Your Glass

Make clean the bottom of your drinking glass with some rubbing alcohol or just wash them in soapy water to go rid of whatsoever grease and dust.

Make sure information technology's completely dry before the adjacent stride, resin does not like water!

Step 3: Mix Your Resin

Mix your resin according to packet instructions and in one case information technology is crystal clear, add together the glow in the night powder and mix thoroughly.

Always make sure the surface area where you work with resin is well ventilated and likewise protect your easily and eyes if possible.

Stride iv: Pour Resin and Let Dry + a Tip!

Plow your glass upside down and apply the resin mixture. Brand certain information technology doesn't create a dome, it needs to exist flat - unless you want a wobbly drinking glass :)

(Only use the resin on the opposite side of the glass, and so that information technology doesn't come in contact with nutrient or drink that you will so eat. I would too advise to hand launder separately from other dishes in warm but not hot water)

Let it dry for a couple of days in a warm - room temperature(resin doesn't like cold either!), dry out and dust free environs.

Tip: To brand the glass glow even more, use a UV light/ torch and point the light at the stale resin on the bottom of the glass - practise this for at least x-20 seconds. The drinking glass volition glow really intensively inside seconds!. Or you can merely accept an advantage of the sun! The longer y'all leave information technology 'charge' in the sun the longer information technology will last and glow more intensively.
