    Default fluorescent tiles

    Strange request I know but looking for some for fluorescent tiles, size material etc not important going to cut them up for mosaic.

    Young brother in-law past away at start of the year & im doing some sort of feature at his grave (liked bright colours) He was a former student of the Glasgow school of Art & the family think its a good idea not exacly sure what im going to do yet maybe vases or something like that, waiting to see what the headstone is like black granite I think

    Anyway did a google search etc and tried my local supplier and cant seem to find anything!
    Anybody used the or know where to find some?

    Saw some in a local tile shop but they were floor tile,not sure what they were made of but one was a barbie pink another was a lime green..

    Looking where your based it would'nt be cost affective.

    I just got some Litochrom Starlight epoxy online and on their site they show and sell the night vision grouts, but I remember, vaguely, that other companies do it, too, I'd just google if I was you. I also remember reading somewhere that some hotels quite like it so their guests find their way round in the bathroom at night .. but it could be kind of neat...

    This is the litokol catalalogue, the "night vision" additive /effects are shown on page 8, I see if I find some more...

    http://www.creationsomni.com/co/imag...e_grouting.pdf

    This is the place where I bought the epoxy grout from, they may sell the additive, too, don't know, it's not what I needed

    Litochrom Starlike Tile & Grout Tiles/Tiling Accessories Adhesives & Grouts - Walls and Floors

    This American company sells glow in the dark powders to add to grout or concrete in lots of colours, they look pretty wicked..

    Glow in the Dark Powder

    and Laticrete do a glow in the dark grout, but I have yet to find where Laticrete is available in the UK, had a Scottish contact once but lost that with my old pc, was very expensive, but it is the undisputed grout of choice amongst American mosaic artists....
    Dan and enduro like this.

    Not at the moment, Gary, but if it does come up, will do more interested in the epoxy cleaner, our topps tiles, surprise surprise, doesn't seem to do a porcelain cleaner you mentioned either?

    Haven't used it yet, am using the double reverse method on a large piece right now, with lots of different heights, so plenty of nervous breakdown challenges to meet yet before I cross that bridge... - I keep coming back for nervous breaks here....
