For best results, stick it underneath a lightweight frozen object. This will freeze the liquids inside, preventing them from reacting. Before you do this, be aware that this can cause excessive ice buildup or freeze liquids in an attached refrigerator. Take it out and shake it. Check on the glow stick after an hour and try shaking it and cracking it.
If this doesn't work, return it to the freezer overnight and try again the next day. Most brands of glow sticks will get a little extra glowing time when the liquids inside melt and recombine.
Some brands will be quite bright, while others will just stay at the same dim level, but last longer. There's no way to tell what will happen without experimenting. Keep it in the plastic bag while you shake it, just in case it breaks.
It can take a little while for the glow stick to warm up and glow again. Method 2. Heat a pot of warm water. Heat until the water begins to steam or simmer. Heat speeds up the chemical reaction that causes the glow.
By warming the glow stick, you can make it glow brightly for a short time, sometimes up to half an hour. Once it's used up, it's used up. Pour the water into a glass jar. A sturdy jar will withstand the heat better than a glass. Find one tall enough to hold most of the glow stick.
You can use a mug instead. There's a risk of melting the glow stick, so don't use a nice mug. Let cool recommended. If your water came to a full boil, definitely wait five minutes for the water to cool. The glow stick plastic will melt if the water is too hot.
Drop the glow stick in the water. Leave it in for thirty seconds, then pull it out with tongs or rubber gloves. If there's any "oomph" left in the glow stick, it should glow brightly for a short time. Do not put your face over the jar. If it is colder, the glow stick will be dimmer and the reaction time will be longer, meaning that it will glow longer. So if you are a scuba diver or hiker using a glow stick to mark something in cold water or cooler temperatures, the glow will not be very bright, but the duration will be longer.
However, please note that if the temperatures are very cold, below freezing temperatures, the glow stick may freeze and the glow effect will be limited.
Can you turn glow stick products "off" once they have been activated? No, once you have activated a glow light product it will glow until the chemical reaction is finished. You can however prolong the life of your glow light stick or glow light product after it has been activated.
Stick it into the freezer. Freezing an activated glow light product will slow the chemical reaction. Once you take it back out of the freezer, the glow light stick or glow light product will start to glow again once it reaches room temperature. This technique does not stop the chemical reaction, but it slows the reaction enough that if you put it into the freezer one night and take it back out the next night, it should work fine.
Chemical based glow sticks are sealed in a plastic tube and are waterproof. Glow Sticks were originally developed by the US Navy as a non-heated, non-sparking light source for illumination. Scuba Divers and the Coast Guard use them in water to make themselves more visible and as a safe dependable light source.
Glow sticks are waterproof, do not use any batteries, do not generate any heat, and can tolerate high pressures, such as those found under water.

With normal use of glow light product this is not a issue, but if you happen to puncture a glow light product and get it on your clothing, simply rinse the area with warm soapy water.
