If your kids love scribbling on your walls, or you’re an agoraphobic tagger who gets fed up of filling your house with paint fumes, the Glow Graffiti might be your salvation. Ostensibly a normal spray can, in actual fact you paint with UV light: the nozzle hides a UV LED (the batteries hide inside the can) and you can “paint” light onto the included UV-reactive sheet. Your artwork stays visible for around 30 seconds, then fades away.
Glow Graffiti works because the sheet “absorbs” and then releases the UV light, only visibly. You can use it close up, for text and finer lines, or further away for thicker lines or even with stencils. Best of all, it’s all reusable and kid-safe (though it might give them some anti-social ideas).
The Glow Graffiti set – which includes the UV can, the 60 x 60 cm sheet and letter stencils – is available from Firebox now. It’s priced at £34.95 ($51.30)

Why don’t you just give them a knife and let them slash some tires while theyr’e at it. Do you think “it might give them anti-social ideas” ???? I don’t feel so bad for the “agoraphobic tagger who gets fed up with filling your house with paint fumes” To bad all taggers aren’t agoraphobic and the world would be a better place. Graffiti isn’t art, it’s vandalism and should be dealt with like the destructive nonsense that it is. Stupid Product, even stupider rationale for having it….

Anything for a buck! Sends the wrong message! Maybe the fumes will fill the house and explode!

Errr… Im trying to comprehend your point here. Are you saying that anyone who uses a spray can is automatically a member of gang which will cover the walls of your apartment building with gang signs?
There is a very large number of legitmate uses for spray paint ranging from construction crews to any number of artists which do not use graffiti for vandalistic or disorderly purposes. A tagger is not necessarily a vandal. Nor is graffiti vandalism.
I would encourage you to do some research on the matter and on art in general before filling the internet with your bigoted, stereotypical and uninformed notions.
