Glow-In-The Dark Paint
Mike Kohnen couldn't see the tip of his fishing rod when fishing at night. "That's where I got the idea for Glo Paint," he says, about his glow-in-the dark fluorescent paint that shines bright for 24 hrs. after being exposed to light for just 15 min.
"It's not a one-time glow," he says, noting that there are similar products on the market that don't last as long.
During the day, the paint is relatively clear although multiple coats and a white base paint will make it shine brighter at night.
The number of uses for Glo Paint keeps increasing. "I invented it for fishing, but there are so many different applications for it," he says.
Timber men use it to mark trees so they can cut them down at night.
Ranchers put it on fences so cattle don't get caught at night when they're running, Farmers paint it on slow moving vehicles. Others spray holiday greetings on windows.
Glo Paint comes in aerosol cans as well as 1-qt. and gallon cans.
It's sold at more than 350 retail outlets and is also available online. A small aerosol can sells for $8.95 plus S&H.
