For science enthusiasts: Refract vs fluoresce? Whoops! I likely misspoke in the video at 3:40 regarding what visually appears similar to light being reflected (a glow effect) from the optical brightener. The molecules may get excited under UV (black light), fluoresce (emit blue light) and be considered "fluorescing" instead of "refracting". Refract is a term for light changing direction, usually as it passes through something else. Perhaps the paint and I both got excited (lol), but the thought behind "refraction" here has to do with the resin particles involved (often used in the making of fluorescent pigment powders). I asked one of the manufacturers of this type of UV effect paint about what was causing the glow. I was told that "the resin itself is refracting UVA light". Kremer says the resin (either functioning as an optical brightener itself, or a binder for it) is hardened/dried, then pulverized into a powder like tiny clear crystals to be used in paint. Happy painting everyone :)
