[Noisebridge-discuss] UV-Reactive Oil?

[Jonathan Foote]

Got it: fluorescent dyes for candle wax.
http://www.candlechem.com/coloring.htm (scroll down for
"fluorescent".)
May need to melt them or thin them with naphtha (lighter fluid) or
similar solvent so they dissolve better into the oil.

(Turns out p-terphenyl is nicely polar but has a fluorescence peak
well into the UV)
