glow tape

[mf720]

Hey all,

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place... but I'm looking for glow tape. Does anyone know of a store that sells it? It's too late to order it from anywhere.

Thanks,
Melissa

A Google product search revealed that The Home Depot has it some on their site. You might able to find it at one of their stores or another hardware store.

Any theatrical supply stores will probably stock it. Shouldn't be too hard to get hold of, if not try getting glow paint or if you can't get that, I have glow crayons as spares.

Adding to Nick's post, check department stores with craft sections for glow paint also. I picked up a couple bottles at Wal-Mart a few years ago when we needed some right away after we discovered we were out of glow tape. The bottles you'll find are small, like 2 oz, but pick up a few and they should get you through the show until you can order some tape...

Depends on what part of New York you're in...if you're in the City or close to it there's multiple places for you to buy. Out side of it you may be a little SoL.

In a pinch you could also use stickers that glow like the stars you had in your bedroom as a kid. Check Imaginarium or similar stores. Any theatrical rigging/rental company should have glow tape.

Yeah you could but the sticky part sucks... and then your spikes get moved real easy

Score one for the newbie ! That's a great idea IMHO. as far as the sucky stickiness of those little stars... we tend to put a piece of clear packing tape over our glow spikes cause even glow tape has stick issues.

PS I live for glow paint, I like it better than glow tape.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll definitely have to look into glow paint as another option. I've never used it before.

Russ... good thinking with the glow stickers, I'll have to remember that one.

Why not use Glow Paint on gaff tape? (or whatever suitably sticky tape you can)
