When creating my metal glow scroll plot clock, shown below, I needed a sort of "conveyor belt" made of glow in the dark material.
I (unfortunately) decided to make a glow-in-the-dark silicon band using smooth-on silicon and glow-in-the-dark powder.
I 3D-printed a mould and poured a 2-part silicon with a mixed-in glow-powder
Using a vacuum chamber, I removed the air bubbles from the mould.
I cut the top part off later
As a result, I had a really cool glow-in-the-dark belt!
Unfortunately, it came off the rollers almost immediately and was completely unusable...
As a desperate final attempt, I purchased some glow-in-the-dark duct tape. I learned adding flour to the back removes the sticky property of the tape!
