Continuing with my lume practice and experimenting, tonite I have a sterile faux-gilt submariner dial from RT. For this one I tried a different technique. I applied the lume as I would normally but once the plot was done I “dry brushed” some dark brown lume pigment onto the top of the wet lume. By dry brush, I mean I took the oiler fresh and still with some wet lume on it, dipped it into a pile of dry pigment, then carefully applied the dry pigment granules to the plot.
I think it’s a fairly successful attempt at aging tritium that has turned inconsistently dark and pebbled on the top of the plot.
Because it takes a little extra time, I had to mix a second batch of lume half way through.
