Drulee Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 You've revealed my secret. Late at night, if I need to visit the "lou", I grab my Ziggified 250 from the top of my night table and use it to find my way However, that dial would wake up the neighborhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitsteve Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Interested in the details of what you did. I have also wanted to do this for a while. I just did not want to waste a large amount of lume. What solvent did you use? What Lume? What was your mixture ratio? I assume that you used your airbrush for the application? How thick do you think the coating is and can you make it any thinner and not hurt the effect? Great work by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you cannot buy any longer this product in Europe. So, now, knowing that lume can be sprayed, I am going to develop the formula myself, hopefully.

fixitsteve Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Let me know what you come up with... I am experimenting too. I bought some cheap lum through glowinc.com (G10) and ordered several different grains so that I can mix with clear lacquers of various consistencies. I'll let you know how it goes...
