So I got an old peice of wood filled with lots of rotted out pockets. I was thinking about making a table like pic related with phosphorescent polyurethane as I think it looks pretty neat.
However I'm moving to an apartment soon and I'm thinking unless this thing is right next to a window to absorb sunlight it's never gonna actually give off that glow and will be useless.
What do you guys think, anyone ever try anything with this stuff? How does it fair inside? Is there another type of maybe reflective polyurethane that I can get to give off that almost holographic sheen?

Its meh. That stuff fades quickly with time. It stops working. I think something similar you should do stuff that reacts to a black light. Oorrr do it so its just tinted color and put like LED strips under the table. Like around the knee knockers or something.

Hmm those are some neat ideas. Black light would be cool but I can't think of a time when I'd ever have one, let alone have it on around the house. But the LED thing is interesting.
The paint will fade after a year or so and just look like shit. What you need is some tritnium OP. Or diffuse LEDs

I've seen people do this with bright aluminum powder or brass/gold powder to give a neat effect as well.

That could be really damn cool and at least then its reflective and can work with regular old room lights.

Break up a bunch of cool rocks (black with white speckles, turqoise, yadda yadda) and push them into the holes. Fill in the cracks with whatever clear snot you can manage, then seal the entire bastard.

If you don't know how to spell it I'm assuming you also have no clue how much it costs
if you have a UV light source (like these UV nail dryers, which can be had for $10 new, or $3 used) and some phosphorescent material (like those glow-in-the-dark sticks you're supposed to stick in your garden) then you can have a perpetual glowing table without having to resort to nuclear isotopes. presumably you'd grind the phosphorous plastic into a powder and mix it with the Acrylic Water Kit sold at Walmart.
