Children and the young-at-heart love using glow-in-the-dark sticks for special events such as Halloween, celebrations and parties. If you want to be able to keep the sticks for longer, this article provides a very simple solution.

Steps

1. 1 Place your glow-in-the-dark stick in the freezer.
2. 2 Leave it there when not in use. Advertisement
3. 3 Defrost before you wish to use it. Take the stick out before you intend to use it, to allow it to defrost (at least one hour in advance).
4. 4 Repeat the freeze/thaw cycle until your glow-in-the-dark stick is no longer able to glow. The freezing method will allow your glow-in-the-dark stick to last at least several more turns before it gives up. Instead of lasting for at least 12 -24 hours, it can last at least for a day or more. Advertisement
