I haven't had an all black dog in such a long time. So when I tell you Blue has a high-vis reflective collar with a bell and an extra collar that lights up, it's because she will slip into the Twilight Realm the second she walks into a shadow.

Oh how I sit here unsure of how to approach, waiting with baited breath.

Your frantic movements mollified for a short interval.

The paroxysm of my feelings are eating away my mind. Was it too much? How do you even feel?

I feel I am too cowardly to approach.

Anybody half a year or so ago when I was talking about getting green roots whenever my then upcoming black hair would start growing out? Well, the roots were finally long enough so here's the result :3

People are leaving some very kind words on that post I made on the depth chart and the significance of tpwbyt ending at the depth it does (tysm!!) so while I do not have a concrete answer on the other depth numbers beyond a basic assumption, I will add two more things

1. The depth chart starts at 914m, with Atlantic.

Dozens of different factors contribute to how deep light can penetrate in water, but by definition the Mesopelagic Zone is specifically the transition between where ~1% of sunlight can still reach the water and where it can no longer be seen at all. It begins at a depth of 200m and ends at 1000m.

In other words, with Atlantic, 914m below the surface of the ocean, Vessel's starting the album already in the absolute last vestiges of where any light from above could possibly reach him.

2. The underwater speed of sound reaches a minimum around that depth as well.

This also varies greatly by composition and conditions but between about 600 and 1200m, with an axis usually depicted at around 1000m, various oceanic conditions align to allow sounds to travel up to several thousands of kilometers with little change before dissipating.

So, if he was singing loud enough, at similar depths you would theoretically still be able to hear Vessel's voice from halfway across the ocean. As could any other creature occupying the same range, provided it has the means to hear it!

Hello :D :) This might be quite specific :o But would it be at all possible to get a starboard done up for an introject of the "Wake Up & It's Over" album? Who is Wilbur presenting :) Themes and colours are brown, red, black or any colour from the lighting in tour photos. Could we get some slimes and neon or luminescent visuals? :o This is our first time ever sending in an ask for one of these :D Our host dosnt usually let me :) I hope your well and thank you very much :D :) -Casper o/

“Wake Up & It’s Over” (Lovejoy, album) with brown, red, and black neon, lights, and slime!

My Glowing Room!

As many of you may already know, I am obsessed with glow in the dark stuff, Ghost and Killstar among other things.

I have been working on converting everything in my room to glow in the dark in some capacity.

***Please note that I didn't draw these images, I just made them glow in the dark. 😊

Some of my Killstar Kreepture Collection that also glows! 🖤

What if the reason ghost hunter shows never see any ghosts is because ghosts are faint and so they are only visible in super bright light?

And they are all like 'aw tight somebody's finally gonna see me' and then these guys turn off all the ding dang lights!

Understanding Photo-luminescent Paint: Benefits, Usage, and Applications

Photo-luminescent paint, often referred to as glow-in-the-dark paint, has been gaining attention in various industries due to its unique properties and wide range of applications. This paint absorbs ambient light and emits it in darkness, providing a reliable source of visibility in low-light conditions. This article delves into the benefits, usage, and specific applications of photo-luminescent paint, while also integrating relevant information about silicone sealant, construction sealant, and other related products.

What is Photo-luminescent Paint? The photoluminescent paint contains phosphorescent pigments, which have the ability to absorb light and then re-emit it slowly over time. This re-emission can last for several hours, making it an effective means of illumination in the absence of other light sources. Commonly used pigments include strontium aluminate, which offers a longer-lasting and brighter glow compared to older zinc sulfide-based pigments.

Benefits of Photoluminescent Paint

Safety and Visibility: The primary benefit of photoluminescent paint is enhanced safety. It provides a clear, visible path in emergency situations, such as power outages or fire evacuations, guiding individuals to exits and reducing panic.

Energy Efficiency: Unlike electrical lighting, photoluminescent paint does not require an external power source. It absorbs and stores light energy during the day and releases it at night, leading to energy savings and lower maintenance costs.

Durability: This paint is highly durable and can withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Environmental Friendliness: Photoluminescent paint is non-toxic and free from harmful substances, making it an environmentally friendly choice for various applications.

Applications of Photol-uminescent Paint

Photoluminescent paint is used in various sectors, including:

Emergency Exits and Pathways: Marking exit routes in buildings, stairways, and corridors to ensure safe egress during emergencies.

Traffic and Road Safety: Highlighting road signs, pedestrian crossings, and curbs to improve nighttime visibility.

Marine and Aviation: Ensuring clear visibility of pathways and safety signs on ships and aircraft.

Industrial Settings: Enhancing safety in factories and warehouses by marking equipment, hazards, and evacuation routes.

How to Use Photoluminescent Paint

Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or oil. Proper preparation improves adhesion and durability.

Application: Apply the paint using a brush, roller, or spray. Multiple thin coats are recommended for optimal performance. Each coat should be allowed to dry before applying the next.

Charging: Expose the painted surface to a light source to charge the photoluminescent pigments. Natural sunlight is ideal, but artificial lighting can also be effective.

Determining the Quantity Needed

The amount of photo-luminescent paint required depends on the surface area to be covered and the desired thickness of the paint layer. As a general rule, one gallon of photoluminescent paint can cover approximately 300-400 square feet with one coat. For critical applications, consider consulting with the paint manufacturer for precise calculations based on specific product formulations.

Integration with Construction Sealants

In construction, it is often necessary to use sealants to ensure structural integrity and weatherproofing. Silicone sealant, construction sealant, and construction joint sealant are commonly used products that can complement the use of photoluminescent paint.

Silicone Sealant: Known for its flexibility and durability, silicone sealant is ideal for sealing gaps and joints in a variety of substrates. It can be used alongside photoluminescent paint to ensure that painted surfaces are also properly sealed and protected from moisture.

Construction Sealant: This term encompasses a range of sealants designed for various construction applications. When using photoluminescent paint in construction projects, it’s important to select a compatible construction sealant to ensure cohesive results.

Construction Joint Sealant: Specifically formulated for sealing joints in construction, these sealants ensure that there are no gaps that could compromise the structural integrity of a building. Using construction joint sealant in conjunction with photoluminescent paint can enhance both the safety and longevity of building components.

Importance in Construction In cities like Melbourne, where safety and efficiency are paramount, incorporating photo-luminescent paint into construction projects can significantly enhance building safety. For instance, marking pathways and emergency exits with photoluminescent paint can ensure that in case of a power outage or emergency, the occupants can safely navigate to exits. This is particularly beneficial in high-traffic commercial buildings and residential complexes.

Moreover, combining photo-luminescent paint with high-quality construction adhesive sealant can provide a comprehensive safety solution. The sealant ensures that the paint remains effective and adheres well to surfaces, even in challenging conditions.

Conclusion

Photoluminescent paint is a versatile and beneficial tool for improving safety and visibility across various applications. Its ability to provide illumination without an external power source makes it a valuable addition to emergency preparedness plans. When used in conjunction with construction sealants, it can enhance both the functionality and longevity of building projects. By understanding how to properly apply and integrate photoluminescent paint, construction professionals can ensure safer, more efficient environments.
