I got some last year and mixed it into clear soft glass then pulled it into stringers and made a glowing glass fish. I wear it when I go fishing, if you charge it with one of those 2 mil candle power lights you can rig up your line in the dark with it. I'm gonna make a glowing fishing lure with it. It's pretty cool stuff. Haven't tried it in boro yet

...fishing lures sounds cool but i don't fish...

So? You'll make a lot more money if you don't keep any for yourself...

So it can be mixed into the glass? How well did the rod glow?

Jason gave me this tip: use a spoon handle to put it inside of a tube, and while you're heating it up, the spoon handle is long enough to get in there and help smear it around for an even coat... it is is impossible to burn out the glow.

*Also- colored frit can be dropped in a tube first, and then use glow powder as a background.

I hope that helps.
