    Decided to have a bit of fun with my brothers car… :lol1:
    Ordered in some “Glow in the Dark”

    Applied it to “NOS”
    (Nitrous Oxide Systems)

    Just off white in the Day light.

    Either Side of the Registration…

    It works a treat.
    Now if he’s at the traffic lights and waiting,
    the car behind charges the Glow in the Dark..

    And See’s “NOS” glowing in the distance and he disappears lol…

    Not the best pic but you can see it does glow.

    P.s.

    This stuff is as thick as a cows hide 🙁
    No chance of doing any small detailed work.

    I was thinking Halloween too lol…

    Its really thick, and detail (Small work would be difficult)

    Its not that my plotter can not cut it,
    its more an issue weeding as its so rigid.

    Honestly its a stiff as a board…

    But great fun.

    It Charges (Glows Really quickly)
    And lasts 5 mins or so..

    I’m still having fun with it he he he

    That s just the stuff i was enquiring about yesterday(monday 15th aug)

    got a small sample from Kemco, brilliant stuff, but on the expensive side as you mention.
    grafityp do some 500mm wide by the metre at less than £10 if your’re interested( they say that theirs is excellent for computer cutting)

    I’m not sure to be honest. I didn’t get a instruction manual lol…

    Its good while it lasts lol….

    quote Darryl:

    grafityp do some 500mm

    I got it in 610 wide 😉

    I only got it as a laugh.

    But it is ridged as anything and any detailed work could be a problem.

    But I’m thinking what to do next as the nights begin to get darker quicker.
    If you like it buy it but be aware of the limitations.
