I have a bottle of glow paint - I'm pretty sure it's a latex
based paint.
It's probably cheaper to buy a new bottle of paint than to
revive your dried out bottle.

Probably true. I bought some when I first set up my
darkroom here for use on light switches, etc. Its still
there and still works about as well as it ever did.
Note that this stuff glows when exposed to light but
the glow dies down pretty quickly because there is nothing
in it to excite the fluorescence. The "illuminated" clock
and watch dials of many decades ago continued to glow in the
dark because they contained a small amount of radio-active
material. That turned out to be hazardous so it was
discontinued quite some time ago.
