Overview
TAG Blu-V is a Trautman Art Glass borosilicate color that looks nearly clear in normal light, with a faint blue cast, then fluoresces a bright blue under UV.
It’s a versatile “effect clear” that can be worked as a clean base, used for subtle tint, or pulled into stringer for UV-reactive linework that stays crisp and readable.
Why this color
Blu-V is popular because it gives you a strong UV payoff without looking heavily colored in everyday lighting, so it layers cleanly into modern, high-contrast designs.
It also plays well as an accent over clear or darker colors, letting you add hidden detail that only shows up when the piece hits blacklight.
Best uses
- UV-reactive accents, dots, and linework that glow blue under blacklight
- Clean bases and overlays where you want a near-clear look with a subtle tint
- Stringer work for crisp detail on beads, pendants, and small components
- Layering with other UV colors for contrast and multi-reactive effects
