    If you don't mind getting the UV reactive dye all over everything, sure. My guess is it would probably clog your fogger's heater, also.

    There is UV reactive bubble juice which would look really nice floating in the fog.

    No, I don't think the bubble juice would work in a fogger. I was mentioning it as a cool idea for an effect.

    If I was at a club and I saw all these little glowing bubbles floating within the fog, I would probably think someone dropped something in my drink.

    If you really want to try getting UV fog, get some UV paint, water it down A LOT, and make sure you are using a cheap fogger that you don't mind destroying.

    Would it be safe for you and your audience to breathe in ?

    When experimenting with anything but regular fog-juice, be sure to wear a proper gasmask, and take care to not poison any innocent bystanders/pets.

    I'm still waiting for a youtube-movie of a successful combo of petrol and a fog machine.

    Good point. God knows what sort of noxious stuff would be created by burning those chemicals.

    no.

    The density of dye required is huge. I've tried dyes that are similar to ones used in bright orange military smoke. It undergoes "cracking" when heated and stops glowing.

    You would not want to breathy ANY dye vapor in air.

    Not to mention the clogged nozzle.
