Glow-in-the-Dark Epoxy

Glow‑in‑the‑dark epoxy adds a dramatic, almost magical effect to woodworking projects, and in this video George shows exactly how to make resin come alive when the lights go out. Whether you’re turning a bowl, crafting a cutting board accent, making small trinkets, or even building a full piece of furniture, this technique opens the door to designs that look great in daylight and transform into something entirely different at night. The process is surprisingly simple, and if you’ve ever added colorants to resin, you already know most of the steps — but the results feel completely new.

The secret lies in glow‑in‑the‑dark mica powder, a material that absorbs light and then emits it in darkness. George walks through how to mix it properly, how much to use, and how different colors behave. Some glow intensely, some glow softly, and some hold their charge longer than others. A little experimentation goes a long way, and this video gives you the foundation you need to start exploring.
