From Glow Tape from Rose Brand :
Available wherever theatrical supplies and tapes are sold. The most common size is a roll 1" wide by 10 yards long, which retails for about $10. A good way to "charge" the tape is with the flash of a still camera. Once charged, the tape should remain illuminated for at least 3-4 hours. As the tape gets older, it loses its ability to hold a charge and needs replacing. This is seldom a problem except on very long-running (over six months) shows.
The adhesive on most glow tape is not very strong, nor water impervious, so most stage managers will cover the glow tape with 2" clear cellophane tape., or secure it in place with a staple gun.
