I've got a show coming up in which the director wants to do an ultra-violet dance where you can only see the white gloves of the dancers. I've got UV tubes - no problem. But what should I use to make UV reflecting gloves? Washing in OMO? Paint? Recomendations please.
Thanks
Rob

Thanks
Rob

Washing several times in detergent usually works.
Easy and cheap to try.
Cheers

Fascinating question!

Make sure you use one with the added brighteners tho'. Otherwise clothes soft as but dull as. Apparently you can use the bluebag stuff as well. I don't suppose the clothes are actually whiter per se but the product just "works" in the natural ambient UV.

if you google/ebay cyber goth /cyber punk you may find gloves.
