sssurfer Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I just ordered the green lum spray paint, this will have to be the easiest relum on a sandwich dial possible. Think about it, take the sandwich dial apart and spray. The shipping was expensive but hope it works out. Very interesting! Keep us informed, Chris. Actually, I'm having troubles in getting an even, smooth surface using powder + medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devedander Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 This could be interesting for things with flad defined edges if you could tape off a good mask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shasta Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Very interesting! Keep us informed, Chris. Actually, I'm having troubles in getting an even, smooth surface using powder + medium. You need to crush it to smaller size. Use mortar/pestal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yes, Shasta, I'm doing that, but I seem not able to get a fine enough grain. So far I tried with mortar + pestel (marble), and also with a glass bottle rolling on a glass plate. Maybe I just have to grind more, I'll try again. How long did you grind it? I also ordered a 120 microns sieve from the bay, I hope this will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I just got the readysetglow green paint. It does actually glow very well, but it is impossible to paint with. It has the same consistency of snot (sorry, can't think of anything better). It really isn't paint but some type of jell. I tried it on a sandwich dial which has to be the easiest of all dials to relum and ended up starting over. Hopefully the spray paint will work better.

mastergod Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THREAD Hi guys. I was just wondering if any of you have had any good or bad experiences with powder, paint or spray from RSG since this thread was alive? BTW, I painted my (insane) "Norwegische Kriegsmarine" fantasy project dial with Ready Set Glo paint (backlighting a printed foil sheet). Then, behind that, I used a yellow and brown marker pen for vintage colours. Behind that, Tip-Ex... It really works lume-wise, however for an alleged 1940 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
