Super Glowy Stuff

Joe pointed me to this place: http://www.unitednuclear.com/glow.htm
which offers a super long lasting glow dust and paint for sale, and
I wondered if any of you could possibly use it in your artwork.
Obviously it wouldn't work in scans, but would be great for originals.
There's one downside, the company won't send outside of the US, so you
need a friend in the states to get you some.

from the page:
We now stock the new generation of Phosphorescent (Glow in the Dark) material in pure
powder form. This is not the old Zinc Sulfide based material that's commonly found in the typical
glow in the dark items. As you know, that cheap stuff only glows for about an hour after being
exposed to light. This new Phosphorescent powder is doped with the element Europium, along with
other rare earth elements that give it an astonishing glow time of over 12 hours!
It is non-radioactive and non-toxic.
It can be mixed or melted with anything from clear paint, to wax, plastic, nail polish, gel,
Sculpey Clay, etc. A formula sheet for making all sorts of glowing stuff included.
It can be recharged indefinitely just by holding it under light.
The material is highly heat resistant. It can be mixed with glaze and fired in a kiln
to make pottery and other ceramic items.
