How to Make Glow Solution If you use washable glowing paint and add that to the bubble solution, your bubbles will glow in the dark after the solution has been exposed to bright light. Sometimes it can be difficult to find washable glowing paint, so you may wish to make glowing water using a highlighter pen. This solution mixes about 50:50 with bubble solution to make glowing bubbles. The color of the glow depends on the highlighter that you use. Highlighter pens fluoresce, which means you will need to shine a black light on the bubbles to get them to glow. Check your pen with a black light before you cut it open. Yellow almost always glows. Green and orange are good too, but a lot of blue and red pens dont glow. Here is how you make the glow solution: Use a knife to (carefully) cut a highlighter pen in half. Its a pretty simple steak knife and cutting board procedure.Pull out the ink-soaked felt that is inside the pen.Soak the felt in a small quantity of water.  Use the dyed water to make bubble solution or for other glowing projects. Glowing Bubble Safety and Clean-Up The glowing bubble solution is very safe, providing you used either non-toxic washing glow paint or a non-toxic highlighter pen. I would recommend blowing the bubbles outdoors so that you dont have to wash glowing liquid off of walls or furniture. Bubble solution is already pretty soapy, so clean up any spills with lots of water. One nice thing about cleaning up glowing bubble solution is you can see the spots made by the bubble solution very easily.
