Hello all-
I recently ordered some glowpaint for updating a couple flashlights. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is safe to paint across the circuit board on an led? I don't believe the glow paint is conductive but wonder if it might cause any other problems? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

You could effect the waterproofing and corrosion resistance. Keep in mind the paint may dissolve a small bit of the protective covering of what ever you paint it on. I am assuming the paint is solvent based not water based. Oh, and water based would be conductive until completely dry.

Glow Inc sells both water and solvent based paints. MSDS sheets can be obtained for these formulations as well.
