If you don’t want to make it glow you can also choose to color the letters by buying colored pigments to mix into the Resin & Hardener. I noticed UV light was best for charging the Glow in the Dark. This is really important if you don’t want the powder showing in the finished product. Creating this is tricky and you would have to first create the Resin & Hardener mixture and then add the Glow in the Dark pigment and make sure there are no lumps forming. For a 100ml liquid with 25ml resin and 75ml hardener I required a round 10g of the pigment. To make this I bought a Glow in the Dark pigment and mixed it with the resin and hardener mixture. I tweaked around with it and experimented to make the Glow in the Dark resin. It is a two part product consisting of a resin and a hardener which mixed in the ratio of 3:1 and mixed till the liquid is homogenous gives you a clear liquid which cures in approx. It gives a high gloss glass like protective layer on the wood and it really gives a shine to the board.

I stumbled on this product a couple of months ago and it is not like any I have ever seen. It is called the Haksons Resin & Hardener – Grade 1.

Before going any further I am explaining the coating I applied on the board.
