I know what you mean, it's certainly a concern of mine as well. The only thing I'm hoping, is if a gen hand can exist, it has to be possible (although that's probably a reason why the Mercedes hand is the more widely used ) Also, I couldn't remove all the material from the star, as I don't have any tools fine enough to do the work without tearing the outer ring open, but, I'm hoping that the extra material might provide a little extra purchase for the lume to anchor to
Thanks for the feedback and well-wishes That's certainly giving my some ideas for forming a base substrate of some kind, maybe something like cling film could be epoxied to the underside of the hand to provide that extra support, without thickening the hand enough to make it drag on the dial...
Thanks I know it's far from perfect, but for something I did with a pair of nail clippers, I'm quite happy with the results, although I might try and improve on that if I can find precise enough tools
If there's someone who can relume a lollipop hand, that might save me some troubles, might you be able to share their contact details?
