Nope, I don't, but I do know that you can just go to the Edmund Scientifics website and buy a container of ultraviolet glow paint for like $10.

Check it out here:

Thats not uv glowing paint, its glow in the dark paint there is a big diffrence.

Say you have a black light and you want somethings to show only when the light is on that is uv(changes color in uv light) but the paint you showed was glow in the dark and all that does is take the light in and showes it off when its dark(still cool with a black light because it will glow bright even when the light is on and charges at the same time)
dyelite is a type of uv reacting products(its used to check leaks in liquid systems)
If you watched "Gone in 60 seconds" you would see thats how they wrote the list of all the cars on the wall without anyone knowing its there(and when you put the black light on it reveals the message).

the glow in the dark paint is still a good ideal
hope this will clearify what uv products are

I know what you were looking for, and Edmund SCientifics DOES carry it, I've seen it in their catalog. But when I went to look on the site, I didnt find any.

Nope, I knew they were different, but also knew they'd work the same way, glowing brightly under a UV light.

if you go here the product talked about glows in uv light. You could use it as a paint and at the same time help condensation.

They used tide in "Gone in 60 Seconds". Tide (the detergent) is also used alot in frat houses for parties, glows in the dark and stuff, just dunk your grills in there. It lasts for a long time suffice to say, dont get it wet.

You can also use Diswashing Detergent Liquid (Like Palmolive) diluted w/ a little bit of water. Only problem is that it leaves a sticky residue.

man that is soo cool, now i think i will have to spray my whole system with detergent.
Could it be that the detergent would reflex good the uv light because it is a bright white?

Oh and I just got my blacklight yesterday and it looks sweet in my case (18inch one and only set me back 35$)
The only think i find weird is that the sides of my pci/agp cards glow a bright green under the uv light(did this happen to anyone else).

Blah. Don't know how to put a link in here from another topic. Go to the cooling forum and look for the post titled 2 new ways for cooling or something like that. It lists a spray that glows under UV. Conformal spray or something like that. Go...look...then come back and tell me how the heck to put a link to another post in here.

I just picked up a 10" blue neon bar on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=1283583363). And I picked up a switch for it the other day. I'm pretty sure that I could run a blacklight off of it.

"if you go here the product talked about glows in uv light. You could use it as a paint and at the same time help condensation."

for the future to make a link click the button on the top of where you type your message "http://" then follow the directions.
