John you can just make your own, crack a green highlighter or two into a bowl with 400ml or so of water in and leave the sponge bit inside to soak for half an hour. Squeeze it out and you'll have some nice UV water. Dilute it then use it for whatever. Make a bit more and you can throw it in the cooling system. As long as the pen glows under UV, and UV source will show it up. I bought a black light bulb from the local art (couple of quid tops) shop and put it in one of the old style lamps for working on cars. Works great.
