Dot Room - size and type of paint?

[JAnderson]

I would like to create a dot room for my daughter. The room is 10 x 12. Is this going to work as I don't want to create a collapsible area as I have read. I am wondering -- if I choose the phosphorescent/black light avenue - will the black light "reach" the stickers?

I will purchase the tag sale stickers and paint them but with what type of paint - the phosphorescent or glow in the dark paint? The latter paint takes regular lighting and the phosphorescent requires a black light - is that correct? How much paint of either will I need?

Thank you very much for your help.

The phosphorescent paint is glow in the dark paint
You are thinking of the fluorescent powder that will only be visible with a blacklight.

The best option for you would be the v10 water based glow paint.

The gitd paint will charge with normal lighting, but is most efficiently and quickly charged with a black light. And the fluorescent needs a blacklight to show it's colors.

The stickers are really an unnecessary step, unless you are only going to be at that house for a short while and are looking for a super easy removal process. But really I have found that I can pick off excess dots rather easily from ceilings if I felt there were too many.

But making some of the fluorescent paint will make for a bonus hidden set of dots that will only bee seen with a blacklight. It's an interesting effect havin the phosphorescent and fluorescent dots mingling together.

4oz of the waterbased paint should be more than you would need, leaving you some excess to Play around with.
