tghodin Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Alright, so ive got a spedid example of a 94010 Snowflake, and by now, i am fully capable of mixing an even lume with evently distributed lume power, and without spilling it over the dial. Summing it up , i know how to lume, but im bad at getting the colour right. I use GMAX Watch-Lume Green Powder, and Their Arcylic Matt Binder, which mixes fantastically and is easy to apply. However, i seem to always catch a hue of green when i mix it. No matter if i paint the markers white before relume or whatever. Im looking for a lightly yellowish creamy patina like on the picture below (borrowed). Nothing brightly yellow, nor white. How can i tint the color? Any ideas? Need i new relume powder and or binder? What products? All help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I have messed with the Glow, Inc. lume and although it dries to a texture that I don't find attractive on newer watches the wrinkly texture sometimes doesn't look too bad on a vintage piece. It uses a water based (latex, I think) binder and I tint it with acrylic paints and strong coffee. This is the lume mixed with a little strong black coffee and a drop or two of "Yellow Ochre" water-based acrylic paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I like GLOW, Inc, but it dries like Elmer's glue. I use a little(read tiny tiny) bit of talcum powder to give it the "Cheeze it" texture. Color is entirely your choosing. Iodine, water or finger paints work well.

mir36 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 jmb: Which latex binder do you use? I've usually used clear nail polish with the glow inc lume, but it dries amazingly fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
