Are glow in the dark bump dots a thing? (self.Blind)
submitted by BabyBaphomet_
My light perception is good so I think light up bump dots would be sick. There's a few things I'm always misplacing and my idea is if I have glowing bump dots, I can turn off the lights and I'll be able to find em without help.

Also I just think it would make my house look cool if I used glowing dots for everything instead of clear ones lol. I really like it when people jazz up their aides.

Hi, you can buy the clear glow paint at Walmart and try it.

If you want a more perm version / more hardy , I know you can use 1 to 1 resin with the glow in dark pigment that's light actived. It'll last a whole night (from 8-10 hours) if your light is on during the day.

I'm not a very handy person could you explain how to do this more? I have no idea what you're saying lol but I think this is what I want to do!

You use 1 to 1 ratio of resin (a small amount like from Sofie and Toffee).

Once you mix the ratio, you add in the pigment powder and mix that in. There's a lot of choices in pigments to use. Some are UV light charge and some are Plain light actived.

Which you pour into small round silicone molds (easily bought online).

It hardens after 24 to 48 hours. Pop it out of the molds then stick to your area of choice with epoxy or a tough glue.

Dude. That's a great idea! Maxi Aids is where we get our bump dots. Maybe pitch the idea to them? I've never seen any.
