So I just got a starbrite. It won’t glow in the dark. I have shined a bright light on it for over an hour, but it still won’t glow. Help! ---

Most all NEON colors glow with a Blacklight. It won’t actually glow in the dark, but brightly shine as if it were :wink: ---

at first, starbrights don`t glow. second, learn the difference between “flourescent” and “lumenscent”. First one glows when in contact with UV.light like shot before dusk or UV lamps. Second ones keep glowing for an amount of time when exposed to light. flourescent YoYos, YYF Neon Series lumenscent, YYF Glow Series, magic DarkSprite ---

I suppose his concern might be your spelling. For the word “fluorescent” the U comes before the O. It’s actually a very common misspelling, so I wouldn’t worry about it much. Your spelling of “luminescent” is also wrong. Lumenscent, as you put it, is close, but not quite right. Still, the point of your post comes across very clearly, and none of your content is wrong. But some people can be sticklers when it comes to spelling.
