A small tactical lamp is used, which is preferred to looking for light switches.
A modified lamp hold also is used intermittently and away from center mass to avoid marking our position and to draw fire away from vital organs.

The video is not perfect, the firearm is held with an extended position to aid the camera work. In reality the firearm should be held close to avoid any assailant's attempt to grab the weapon

A safety check first:
All ammunition and magazines must be removed. If there is anyone besides you in the room all ammo must be removed from the room too.

Clean your gun sights with a paper towel and good grade alcohol 95% is decent.
If the Glow-On or any paint fails to adhere to the gun sights, a dirty, oily surface is the culprit.

A small stick sharpened at the end or a small brush can be used to apply the paint.
Let it dry for thirty minutes between layers, a couple of layers will be needed.

Even if our work feels dry after about an hour, we let it dry for at least 24 hours before we apply a clear coat.

Hi quality transparent nail polish can be used, Sally Hansen "hard as Nails"is a good choice. You could use a more expensive clear coat if you want.

The reason for this step is to create a smooth surface to make it easier to clean, since the finish on the Glow-On paint is a bit gritty and will hold smoke residue.
After a session at the range, just wipe it of with your hands, a paper towel, etc.

The use of Hopes to clean your firearm is OK, it wont affect the Glow-On, Some guys still use diesel, that's OK too.

To remove the Glow-On just pry it off with a pointy object , plastic or wood, stay away from metallic punchers as they will damage the finish on your firearm. You could use acetone free nail paint remover to soften the Glow-On before removal
