Hey,

I am trying to create an effect like a blacklight. I need stains to show up flourescent like when the black light is turned on, and disappear when turned off. This will all occur on a moving persons face, clothes, etc. Is black light and tide stains enough? or is there more I can do to really pronounce the flourescent stains? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Great board, I really have enjoyed this site.

you can try looking for security and "spy" type sites, they often sll UV reactive pigments, dyes, markers that only show up under black lights for tracking thiefs and criminals. i dont know how much better they show then tide, but my bet would be that they do work better, plus you're not weraing tide around all day...also, you may want to check the earlier posts in the makeup board, i think something similar was asked in there...way back when

Highlighter does the same thing, if you don't mind the risk of stain...

highlighters work. once one of my friends outlined his skeleton in highlighter for halloween and turned on a blacklight. otherwise, crazy lou got it right. spyshops.

Thanks for the help. I'll check the spy shops and tinker with the Hi-liter stuff too.

Have a good one.
