Reflective Glass Powder (25 LB Bag) Type 1 Highway Beads for Road Marking, Striping, Curb Paint, Parking Lots

I would highly recommend this product! We bought this to go on our mailbox post. We engraved the numbers into the wood, painted them white, and sprinkled some reflective dust on them. It turned out great! To get the reflective dust on the numbers we poured some dust into a ziplock bag and snipped a corner off for more control over where the dust went. Like others have said, make sure you sweep up the dust that falls on the floor. It can be very slippery when you step on it. We couldn’t be happier with the way everything turned out. If you’re in the market for this type product, I would highly recommend this one!

I used this for improving reflectivity of house numbers. Sprayed the numbers with glossy white Krylon enamel, waited about a minute, then sprinked on the glass powder. Let it dry overnight... great result. Highly reflective, and the powder seems to adhere well enough to the paint that I'm hoping to get several years lifetime out of it before needing a renewal coat. Application suggestion: Applying the glass powder evenly onto the paint is key to getting a good result. I used an old spice bottle with small sprinkle holes (e.g. garlic powder, that sort of thing). Held it about 2 feet above the numbers and gently sprinked. Quite a bit of "overspray", but if you do it on a clean, foldable surface (like a piece of cardboard) then when you're done you can just pick up the cardboard, fold it, and slide the excess glass back into the original container.

The last time I had to re-paint my house number on the curb (3 years ago I think?), I painted a white rectangle and poured these onto the wet paint, then once that was dry I painted the numbers on top in dark green. It worked like a charm, and it looks the same today as it did when I first painted it, meanwhile most of my neighbors have to get their curbs redone every year.

I followed the direction but it does’t reflect too much. Not sure the effect of this…

We used this product in our apartment parking lot. 64 parking lines and two fire lanes. We applied this product on each line during warm sunny weather. It only lasted a few months. At first it glowed well, but now you can’t see it at all ( four months later.) I understand that reflective glass powder does not long, even for the cities, but I was hoping that it would not have to be reapplied this soon. The value for the money is good. It is easy to apply. It did work well at first. Needs to be applied two times a year at least.

Awesome stuff. The picture shown is 2 years of weather and the side getting hit by the sun . It's very durable and reflective at nights. Easy to use and plenty of product.

Ok

First pic shows how they look in the day. Second shows how they look reflecting light at night. I stenciled with white paint on white paint so they would be pretty much invisible during the day. Sprinkled the glass powder on after removing the stencil while paint was freshly wet. Waited 8+ hours before taking a leaf blower to remove the extra glass powder. Turned out even better than I expected.
