<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 11113437, member: 210"], Lucite can glow under a black light, though it might be a faint or murky glow, not a bright, vivid one. Some plastics, including certain types of acrylic or "Lucite," contain fluorescent molecules that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and re-emit it, causing them to fluoresce. The glowing effect is often more pronounced in vintage or colored Lucite items, while clear Lucite might show a more subtle effect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
