It is best to first apply a primer coat of white matte spray paint, and after it has dried, use a fluorescent spray. Beforehand, the balloon must be shaken, and then the pigment is pigmented onto the surface. It is recommended to protect the surrounding non-colorable area from the ingress of paint, covering, for example, with a film or a paint tape. The balloon should be kept in a vertical position approximately 20-30 cm from the object to be painted. At work, it is periodically shaken.

How to prepare phosphoric paint yourself

One composition is hard to get, the other is expensive to buy. Therefore, some prefer to make the paint on their own, which is much more profitable and convenient.

We suggest to consider how to make phosphoric paint on your own at home:

1. First of all, you need to buy a phosphor. It is a powdery substance with a rather unusual ability - it converts the energy received into light. Accumulated for a day, for example, the sun's rays provoke in the dark phosphorescent glow. It is not difficult to get it.
2. Then bought powder should be diluted with a varnish in a ratio of one to three and carefully stir to a homogeneous mass, using a mixer for this. The varnish is best used with acrylic. In its properties it is more durable and, most importantly, completely harmless, even if it is applied to the body.
3. The resulting phosphor paint is applied with a brush to the surface.

In the absence of artistic ability, you can use additional stencils. They will enable you to draw an accurate drawing.
