Is it safe to cut open glow sticks and paint my walls with the inside of the glow sticks?

I had a great idea that i would decorate my walls with the insides of glow sticks.


But is it safe?Is it safe to cut open glow sticks and paint my walls with the inside of the glow sticks?
Wash your hands when you're done, and don't drink any obviously. It's safe. But it will reek hardcore, and stop glowing in like an hour.Is it safe to cut open glow sticks and paint my walls with the inside of the glow sticks?
Unfortunately the glow would be short lived. Once the chemical reaction is over, it's over. It does not last more than a few minutes or hours at most. As to safety:





';Glow sticks contain hydrogen peroxide, and phenol is produced as a by-product. Therefore, it is advisable to keep the mixture away from skin, and to prevent accidental ingestion, if the glow stick case splits or breaks. If spilled on skin, the chemicals could cause slight skin irritation, swelling or, in extreme circumstances, cause vomiting and nausea. However, many ravers will cut or break open a glow stick and apply the glowing solution directly to bare skin in order to make their bodies glow. It has been said that glow stick chemicals cause cancer;[9] the phenol produced is toxic, corrosive and a category 3 mutagen. Also it is wise to avoid all contact with thin membranes such as the eye or nasal area. Despite reports to the contrary, it is not safe to smoke or ingest glowing phenol, and it will not produce any drug-like effects. The fluid contained in glow sticks can also dissolve some types of plastic.';
I've put the stuff on my skin with non-toxcic glow sticks and its fine.





If you paint it on walls,it will glow for like an hour then it will never glow again.
Well i dont know if its safe but i do that with my glowsticks
