What is the best resin for glow in the dark powder?

Clear epoxy resin is one of the most popular choices because it provides excellent transparency, durability, and glow visibility. But the best really depends on the surface you are painting on.

Use solvent base for metal surfaces. Do not use it on soft surfaces like plastic, rubber or silicone.
