32oz UV Foam Solution – Pour & Glow Packs

✦ Who Should Buy Pour & Glow?

• First-Time Glow Foam Hosts — Never run UV foam before? Pour & Glow eliminates every variable. No separate UV powder to buy, dissolve, or stir. No foam solution concentrate to measure. Pour the pack in, add water, add blacklights, done. If you can run a standard Pour & Go pack, you can run this — same process, neon green glow as a bonus.
• One-Off Glow Parties — Hosting a single blacklight party, glow birthday, or neon-themed event? You don't need a jar of Lumos Dust and a gallon of concentrate. You need enough UV glow foam for one or two barrels and zero leftover product. Pour & Glow is right-sized for single events.
• Rental Operators Including Glow Packages — Renting out a foam machine with a glow package? Include a Pour & Glow pack instead of sending a jar of UV powder with mixing instructions. Your client pours the pack into the barrel, fills with water, and turns on the blacklights you provided. Zero confusion, zero support calls about UV powder mixing.
• Parents & Non-Technical Operators — Bought or rented a foam machine and blacklights for a kids' glow party? Pour & Glow is the simplest possible route to UV foam. No measuring, no dissolving powder, no worry about whether the UV powder is mixed correctly.
• Quick Demo & Test Setups — Want to see what UV glow foam looks like before committing to bulk Lumos Dust? A single Pour & Glow pack gives you a 20-gallon test run to verify the glow intensity, check your blacklight positioning, and see the effect in your space before investing in a full-season supply.

📋 Specifications

What's In It

Pour & Glow packs contain the same cosmetic-grade foam surfactant used in all SurgeFX foam solutions, pre-blended with the same UV-reactive pigment found in Lumos Dust. The UV pigment is already dissolved into the foam solution concentrate — no powder to handle, no dissolving step, no risk of undissolved particles.

🔧 How to Use — Three Steps

• 1. Pour — Empty the entire 32 oz pack into your barrel or container.
• 2. Fill — Add water to approximately 20 gallons. A standard 53-gallon barrel filled to roughly 40% is about right.
• 3. Glow — Turn on your blacklights, connect your foam machine, and run. The foam glows neon green under UV light.

That's it. The UV powder is already dissolved into the foam solution concentrate. No separate powder to buy, measure, or dissolve. No stirring to check for undissolved particles. No risk of clogging your pump with UV powder that didn't fully dissolve. Pour, fill, glow.

Need More Than 20 Gallons?

Use multiple packs. Two Pour & Glow packs in a barrel filled to 40 gallons. Three packs for approximately 60 gallons. Each pack treats 20 gallons — scale linearly. For multi-barrel glow events, buying Lumos Dust separately and mixing it with Ready to Run or Gel Concentrate offers significantly better per-gallon economics.

Blacklight Positioning

Aim your blacklights directly at the foam zone — where foam exits the cannon and where it accumulates on the ground and participants. The darker the environment, the more intense the glow. Minimize competing ambient light. Two blacklights flanking the foam zone from 10–15 feet away is a solid starting position for most setups.

⚖ Ways to Make UV Glow Foam

SurgeFX offers two paths to UV glow foam. Pour & Glow is the simplest. Lumos Dust is the most flexible and economical at scale.

When to Choose Pour & Glow

Choose Pour & Glow when simplicity is the priority. You want UV glow foam with zero mixing complexity — no separate powder, no dissolving, no stirring, no risk of undissolved particles. You're hosting one glow event and don't need bulk supply. You're including glow foam solution with a rental and want foolproof instructions for your client.

When to Choose Lumos Dust

Choose Lumos Dust when you're running multiple barrels per event, running glow events regularly, or want to control the UV intensity by adjusting how much powder you add. The Large Jar (1 lb) treats 400 gallons — the equivalent of twenty Pour & Glow packs. Pair Lumos Dust with Ready to Run or Gel Concentrate for the best per-gallon economics on glow foam.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How much glow foam does one pack make?
One 32 oz pack treats approximately 20 gallons of water. That's one barrel fill at the 20-gallon level — enough for a short to moderate glow foam session depending on your machine's output.

Do I need to buy UV powder separately?
No. Pour & Glow packs come with UV glow powder already premixed into the foam solution. There's no separate Lumos Dust to buy, handle, or dissolve. The UV pigment is pre-dissolved in the pack.

Do I need blacklights?
Yes. The neon green glow only appears under UV/blacklight. Without blacklights, the foam will show a slight greenish tint but will not glow. The 200W Blacklight 2-Pack is designed for foam events and covers most foam zones.

Will it stain?
Yes, it may stain some fabrics and porous surfaces. This is different from the standard non-staining Pour & Go packs. The UV-reactive pigments can leave marks on clothing, upholstery, carpeting, and porous materials. Always advise guests to wear clothes they don't mind getting stained.

Is it safe?
Water-soluble, non-toxic. The UV pigment washes off skin with water. Avoid direct eye contact — rinse with clean water if contact occurs. If participants have known skin sensitivities, consider testing on a small area first. The base foam chemistry is the same cosmetic-grade surfactant used in all SurgeFX solutions.

What's the difference between this and regular Pour & Go?
The standard Pour & Go ($16) is foam solution only — produces standard white foam, non-staining. Pour & Glow ($37) includes UV-reactive pigment premixed in — produces neon green glow foam under blacklight, may stain fabrics. Same 32 oz volume, same 20-gallon yield, same three-step process. The difference is the glow.

How many packs for a glow party?
Each pack treats 20 gallons. A short glow party with one machine running for under an hour might need 1–2 packs. A 2–3 hour event could use 3–5+ packs. For events needing more than 3 barrels, buying Lumos Dust separately with Ready to Run is more cost-effective.

Does it work outdoors?
Only at night. The glow effect requires darkness and blacklights. In daylight, you'll see slightly tinted foam but no glow. For daytime outdoor foam, use the standard Pour & Go or add Foam Color Additive to your solution for visible daytime color.

Works with all foam machines?
Yes. Once mixed into water, Pour & Glow solution works with the Foam Blaster Maxx, Foam Blaster Pro-X, and any standard foam machine.

Can I use it with the Black Box?
Pour & Glow is designed for barrel use — pour into a barrel, add water, connect your machine. For the Black Box, using Lumos Dust dissolved into Ready to Run is the recommended approach, as it gives you more control over the UV concentration and ensures the inline system operates properly.

Can I add Foam Color Additive too?
You can, but results may vary. Pour & Glow already contains UV pigment. Adding Foam Color Additive gives visible daytime color plus UV glow at night. Test a small batch first. Combining additives increases staining potential.

How do I clean up?
Rinse the foam zone with water as soon as the event ends. UV pigment that dries on porous surfaces is harder to remove than wet pigment. Hose down the foam zone, rinse equipment, and clean any contacted surfaces promptly.

💡 Pro Tips

Commit to Darkness
The glow effect is directly proportional to how dark your space is. Full darkness with only blacklights = maximum neon green glow. Dimly lit = decent glow. Daylight or bright overhead lights = barely visible. If you're running a glow foam event, turn off the overheads, cover the windows, and let the UV lights do the work.

Warn Guests About Staining — Before They Enter
Post signage at every entry point: "UV glow foam may stain clothing. Wear clothes you don't mind getting stained." Announce it on the mic. Put it on the event page and the ticket. Guests who know in advance think it's fun. Guests who discover it after their white shoes turn green think it's a problem. This one step prevents 90% of post-event complaints.

Set Up a Rinse Station
A garden hose with a spray nozzle at the exit of the foam zone lets guests rinse off glow foam before it dries on skin and clothes. Wet UV pigment washes off easier than dried UV pigment. Takes 5 minutes to set up, dramatically reduces complaints.

Pour First, Then Fill
Same as the standard Pour & Go — pour the pack into the barrel before adding water. The water flow naturally disperses the solution as the barrel fills. Adding the pack on top of a full barrel requires more stirring.

Know When to Upgrade to Lumos Dust
Pour & Glow is the easiest path to glow foam, but not the most economical at volume. If you're buying 4+ packs per event or running glow events regularly, switch to Lumos Dust + Ready to Run. The Large Jar of Lumos Dust treats 400 gallons — the equivalent of twenty Pour & Glow packs. The mixing is a bit more involved, but the savings are substantial.

Great Rental Add-On
Offering a glow foam rental package? Include Pour & Glow packs, a pair of 200W Blacklights, and a foam machine. Your client pours the pack, fills the barrel, plugs in the blacklights, and runs the machine. No UV powder handling instructions to explain. Sell the glow package at a premium over the standard foam rental.

Test Before the Event
Mix one pack, run your machine for 60 seconds with blacklights on, and verify the glow intensity before guests arrive. This confirms the blacklights are positioned correctly, the environment is dark enough, and the foam output looks the way you expect. Fix problems during setup, not during the event.

Flush Equipment After Glow Events
Run clean water through your pump and hoses for several minutes after each glow foam event. UV pigment residue can build up in lines and tint your next non-glow event's foam with an unwanted greenish hue. If you run glow foam frequently, consider dedicating a set of hoses to glow events.
