Does anyone know of a source in Canada for good phosphorescent sight paint? Tenda has sight paint but it's not glow in the dark.

I've seen some stuff online for a Europium-based paint which seems good and not very expensive but there doesn't seem to be a source in Canada. The Europium technology seems way better than the older Zinc Sulphide technology used by e.g. RustOleum btw.
 
That is a good idea. Let me check my local hobby shop which is just a few minutes walk from where I am.

It's called "DayGlo"?

4GT has KG Site Kite in bright colors. You can always try the nail polish trick. Doesn't last long but works a bit. Maybe try a bike shop. The might have a few scraps of reflective mylar tape lying around.

Thanks for that link. At $20/7gr from Watchlume, or $14.50 USD from Amazon US, it's not unreasonably expensive, although shipping to Canada if you don't have access to a US depot would bring the price up a bit. The premixed lume in a syringe @$24 would probably be worthwhile unless you have an extremely fine sable brush around.

Certainly less expensive than the stuff from Esslinger or Otto Frei.
 
Thanks for the info guys - all very useful, especially frigpig's link. I was hoping for a store in the GTA where I could just go and buy some of the newer technology stuff.
