Pébéo Studio phosphorescent gel 100 ml

Add accents to a painting or decorative work that glow in the dark. This Pébéo Studio gel absorbs natural or artificial light and releases it afterward in darkness. You receive one 100 ml tube in your chosen version, rather than a set of five colours.

One tube, five colour choices

• Green, turquoise, blue and yellow: lightly tinted gels that help you distinguish the colours in daylight.
• Untinted, green glow: a gel without added daytime colour, with a green glow in the dark. This is a different version from the tinted green gel.

The gels are transparent. A white or light surface makes both the daytime tint and the glow more visible. Untinted means that no daytime colour has been added; do not expect this version to have the same green appearance as the tinted tube.

Apply with a painting knife

Apply the gel preferably in a thick layer with a painting knife. Try a raised line, a small motif or an accent area, for example. First test adhesion and the dry result on an offcut of your own surface. Let the work dry before handling it; layer thickness and conditions affect the process.

Compare light and dark

Make two equally sized test patches with a similar layer thickness: one on white and one on your chosen surface colour. Let them dry, then expose both to the same light source for the same time. View them together in darkness. Record the surface, layer thickness, light source, exposure time and elapsed time since the light was switched off. This helps you choose a build-up for your own piece.

Assess daytime colour and the glow separately. The appearance depends on the absorbed light, surface and applied layer; do not assume a fixed brightness or guaranteed number of glowing hours. A tube photograph does not show the colour of the finished glow.

A painting knife and surface are needed separately. Explore our painting mediums for texture and surface effects.

Use and cleanup

Follow the tube label. Avoid eye contact, close the tube after use and wash your hands after working. Remove excess gel from tools before cleaning them and collect residues for disposal according to local waste rules.
