Wow-What a great response I got. Lots of creative folks out there going the extra mile for the people they work with. I think providing a device that is unique to that patient goes a long way.
The overwhelming consensus is that the powdered pigments will work just fine; most people suggested trying a test batch before doing an actual device (always good advice). People have used glow in the dark powder, and black light reactive powders. I have done glow in the dark myself.
I ordered some mica pigment from Amazon. I’ll be using the Protheflex Flexible Resin with their nylon stockinette. I’ve done t-shirts and fabrics as well as our ‘regular’ pigments with this system before and they turn out nice.
I’ll report my results.
Thanks!

Several people recommended mica powder pigments; people have had good results with these. (That seems to be the bulk of what is for sale on Amazon).
—
Someone recommended artists acrylic paint (that comes in the squeeze tube).
—
automotive paints and use the PVA bag with satin finish
