TEST #4
Purpose: Test similar to #3. In this test, however, I used
a more recent camo pattern, Mossy Oak Shadow Grass

In these four exposures, you should be able to see left to right in each
shot:
 | A piece of Mossy Oak Shadow Grass, purchased in 2002 used as a
background. |
| The blaze camo control |
| The highly fluorescent hunter orange control |
| The treated strip in the middle of the hunter orange control |
Description of #4 Test: From left to right:
- Control shot made with flash
- Same setup, except lit by Black Light-- notice how the blaze camo
disappears. The hunter orange control and the UV-Killer-impregnated strip
are both still glowing. The Shado grass glows a little, but so does
the blaze camo. Here again the exposure is just a tad brighter than in Test
#1.
- I folded the Shadow Grass fabric back to reveal the backside. My
thinking was that if there was any chance of picking up the UV-brighteners
on this fabric, I would see it here.
- Zip. Nada. The backside is brighter, but no brighter than the
blaze camo control. Also notice: the treated test strip is still
glowing.
Conclusion: The Mossy Oak Shadow Grass does not fluoresce any
more than the blaze camo control. Even with complete dousing and several minutes
of drying, the strip of hunter orange still did not show any reduction in UV
emittance. It remains every bit as bright.
