Thank you for making this video. I have 8 grand children of varying ages from 16 to 3 yrs of age. They all love making things with me and this is a brilliant idea to show them how to experiment making moulds and making there own glow in the dark shapes etc. Thank you once again x.
I had a go with this silcone rubber+corn flower filth and it turns out really good for makeing molds and if you shove polymorph plastic into the molds it holds shape much better and does not stick , It also sets a lot faster than latex rubber type moulding and could be cheaper :-) Thanks for inspiring me to try this unusual mixture.
Those glow-in-the-dark powders get everywhere and especially for the bright green one (which has the best brightness) is visible everywhere in the dark if you don't handle it properly. Those are damn hard to clean up on white or bright colored spaces because it gets transferred to the mop or vacuum cleaner or broom you are using to clean it up (not mentioning the hand you're using). Plus, since it's usually a fine powder, it gets trapped into hard-to-reach places. Once I spilled whole bottle of it on the floor (I wept somehow) and stepped on it so my foot was glowing for next three days :D
I have an idea for a glow in the dark product and had no idea how to do it. Found this video. Can’t thank you enough, I’m gonna get started on the product in a week. Hopefully it’s a hit! Thank you!
am I the only one who yelled "Aww! he stole my idea!" when he popped the LED in one? Lol btw..love the silicone and corn flour idea! ..definitely gonna add that to my tinkering list!
Great video and defo going to try it, and the part that was clipped out of the resin syringe is for clearing out the nozzles of the syringes if the crappy lids don't work that you snap off lol :-)
Makes me want to buy some and make different pebbles myself. Thinking of then having them all in three different size glass jars with a string of LED's in them with an external power supply. With that then have them powered on over day and turn them off at night. That'll make 'em light nicely! :) Thanks Clive!
Hi there, just wanted to leave a positive comment :-) I really like your videos and the way you're presenting your things. - You do remind me of Bob Ross (the joy of painting) .. and i hope you understand this as a compliment ;-) And to end with a warning: i had only worked 3 or 4 times with 2K epoxy over a few years without wearing gloves... after the 5th time i got red bubbles on my hands/skin. - Got a direct allergic reaction to it now :-( So "better be safe than sorry" on these things, and don't get in direct contact if avoidable.
+Psi Q Thanks. A lot of people have mentioned Bob Ross, and I must admit I enjoy his videos too. I always try to avoid contact with resin, mainly because of the nasty sticky sensation.
The resin component isn't so bad- but the hardener is the nasty part. I've moulded epoxy putty for years as a youngster without gloves- now work with epoxy professionally- so hoping I don't develop sensitivity as you have :(
I remember as a kid I found that if you set off a camera flash near these things they'd glow much more brightly for a lot longer afterwards. Seems like it's not the duration of the light that "charges them up" so much as the intensity.
A shortcut would be to mix up the silicone, mix in the glow-in-the-dark instead of/together with the corn flour and skip making the moulds, just shape the pebbles with your fingers. The end result would be soft pebbles of course, and not as lasting but they would glow. :)
AWESOME! probably best to measure the pigment first. I also wonder how much the weight varies between epoxy tubes. like if you had 3 of them would they all the same amount? I assume they are close enough to call the margin of error pretty much 0. I never considered using that cheapo epoxy for small casting like this!
An interesting video; thanks for posting it. I found it a bit frustrating that some of what sounded like interesting activity took place just out of shot!
i'm sure they could make brighter ones, but they wanna earn as much money as possible. and to be fair (at least ont the video) all but the purple ones where pretty good.
I was taught, when adding powder to resins, mix the resin first then add the powder. The reason, if the powder is porous and you add it before mixing it might absorb a portion of unfixed resin which "might change the cured properties of the resin/matrix, also it might upset the cure, by changing the chemical reaction. That's what I was taught anyway.....
Your video is helpful to some extent...will be helpful fully when you mention all the things in the description below...coz these things are not accessible in every country...
These are like capacitors, but for light instead of electricity. What if a 4.5mm top hat LED were embedded, and set to strobe twice every second.. they would surely keep glowing all night from a small rechargeable button cell and a tiny 3V 35mAh 40x15mm solar cell. Hmmm. One day I may try it.
For me, there is something almost magical about the glow of blue lights on a very dark night. The type of nights we had on the old farm where I grew up, a farm with no electrical power anywhere within miles, and after dark, the outdoors were a wonder to behold. Oh how I loved those dark nights, until my father, who was perhaps fearful that I would wonder away in the dark began telling me horror stories of what indeed hid behind that darkness, and what I might run into if I wondered far from our old house But one winter, we drove to a nearby small town, and one house near town had all blue Christmas lights around the dark home, that was when I found the magic of holiday lights. There were large signs beside the highway, some that glowed a wondrous blue when the headlights hit them, and to my young mind of perhaps 5 or 6 years old, that too was magic. Now, when we are forced to stay in our sticks and bricks home in South Dakota for the winter instead of our norm of escaping South-West to Arizona, I shall once again decorate our small ranch style house with all blue LED lights to bring that magic back, once again, in hopes to awaken that magic in the mind of another young skull full of mush.
If you want to keep the scale active. Once in awhile just touch the scale pad. And it will stay active otherwise it turns off. I use a digital scale often for measuring powders for reloading but in grains
also, Ive always found with epoxy it i best to mix your pigment with the resin PRIOR to adding hardener, just as you did. you want to add hardener to the already colored resin!
bigclivedotcom That's a good idea! Personally I trim a bit of a credit card/equivalent and mix the epoxy on the rest if I'm making a small batch. Works a charm!
Just out of curiosity have you ever thought about using hot glue (instead of the cornflower/silicone mix) as a mould material in some kind of container? I think should remain fairly malleable after cooling off the problem here might be keeping the stones from sinking in the glue.
Hi, could you tell me the name of the Epoxy resin you used to mix the glow powder with, please, as there are loads to choose from online and it's a bit confusing. Also, could you tell me the name and make of the Japanese pen that you said writes in a Chinese style. Thanks very much.
The resin is any cheap two part resin that you can find that dries clear and in about 5 minutes. Mine was common dollar store resin. The pen is a Pilot Fude-Makase brush pen, model number SVFM-20EF but don;t get too excited, it's a fairly typical fine tip pen that does produce differing line widths depending on how you use it, but it's not a brush in the expected way. I actually prefer the thicker line of the V sign pen version.
so, NASA said they found glowing orbs on the moon.... it turned out to be YOUR house on earth, after being freshly pebble dashed with these ultra bright, glow in the dark stones...
How long does the powder glow last? as long as the rocks do? or longer? I see there brighter.. but in 2 hours are they dimmer than the rocks? or still brighter?
nathaniel holland-pass If you don't keep em in a box of broken jewellery you just ain't smart enough to make a living frosting people's cakes. Not like I would know about any of that though, I've only ever use them to balance engine components.
+bigclivedotcom Ok, well I can't find the video again but of you can recall it was the white, Japanese I think, pen ( body not ink) that you thought was your usual v-sign. Sorry for the trouble and cheers for replying.
+Deus . Gladium Ah, this one... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331351236934 Thinner tip than my usual pen, but quite interesting. Available from that seller in a selection of ink colours.
dreampopmusic The two part resin cures in about 5 minutes, but continues to harden for about a day afterwards. I couldn't give you an exact hardness indication. It would depend on the resin used.
It's almost as if those people used those scales because they happened to be particularly well suited to the task, rather than because they're called drug scales. Weird! ;)

Super! I love those moulding videos! gave many good ideas... Nice affordable way to do moulds.
make 100,000 of these and replace the gravel in your garden (if you already have some) for this and see what your neighbors think haha
Nah. Just get one of those pump-up paint sprayers and hose your driveway with it. Confuse people for the rest of your life!
While watching the video I was thinking of doing it to someone else's garden lol, imagine their reaction when they see it.
how about a t shirt, that would be the best thing ever :D
glow in the dark gravel
The episode in Only Fools and Horses with the luminous paint lol...
Very excited after watching this that you can buy two part epoxy from poundland. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this video! I been searching for 2 days to find the correct glow powder to use. I want to make shells glow for my frogs!
The "stick" you removed from the plunger is intended to be used as a stir stick😊

Clive - Can you share us your idea how to apply this in fine white sand?
I already have one of those I had the first one that you had witches that like greenish blue
These are like capacitors, but for light instead of electricity.
What if a 4.5mm top hat LED were embedded, and set to strobe twice every second.. they would surely keep glowing all night from a small rechargeable button cell and a tiny 3V 35mAh 40x15mm solar cell.

That's an interesting thought. That many of the scary stories were to discourage kids from getting lost in the darkness.
If you want to keep the scale active. Once in awhile just touch the scale pad. And it will stay active otherwise it turns off. I use a digital scale often for measuring powders for reloading but in grains

Clive - that little spacer in the epoxy syringe is a mixing stick! :)
wyzarme I know, but it's so small it's useless. The wooden coffee stirrers are a much better option.

is there a video about how you made dat LED tester? i really love LEDs and it would be a nice thing to DIY
Anony mouse Search my channel for LED tester.
you should fill a lightbulb Clive and put an led in the centre!
+Alex piv I've tried that. The glow pigment quickly attenuates the LEDs output so you have to keep it quite thin.
Arr you thought about blowing a bubble somehow?
+Alex piv It would be feasible to coat a sphere.
its so cool
I think I want that pen.
You made proto putty molds !
I wonder if it works any better if you use talcum powder instead of cornstarch
It gets really grainy and talcum powder is carcinogenic :(
I wonder how this would work with my old creepy crawler molds
What is the pen you used? I like the brush stroke like look.
+chingy1788 Search eBay for Pilot Fude-Makase They describe it as a brush pen.
Just out of curiosity have you ever thought about using hot glue (instead of the cornflower/silicone mix) as a mould material in some kind of container?
I think should remain fairly malleable after cooling off the problem here might be keeping the stones from sinking in the glue.

i was wondering if this stuff could power a solar panel? tritium isotopes work and so does candle light flame 🤔
The output is really low so you'd get less than just using a standard solar garden light. (This pigment needs recharged in light.)
You can just put the silicon in a bowel of water and detergent.

Funny, I've done the same thing with epoxy and glow powder, but I put it on a coin.
How heavy are the pieces?
U cudve weighed the measuring cup w. The resin in it first an than zeroed out ur scale an than put the powder in after that.
That scale is what drug dealers use and drug users use to make sure they're not getting screwed over on weed
I often jokingly refer to it as my drug scale when I use it.
It's almost as if those people used those scales because they happened to be particularly well suited to the task, rather than because they're called drug scales. Weird!
