New Pearl for my Bronzo

[436NR]

I screwed up my pearl while conditioning the look I wanted for my 382. So I added a new one using green Super Luminova instead.

Old one:

Thanks! I wasn't sure how I would like the green instead of white. Still not sure; I can always go back to white.

It did lighten up a bit as it was curing:

It certainly does put out a great glow!

Very nice job. What treatment did you use that damaged the pearl?

I was using a Dremel buffing wheel and went across it and dug it out.

Ooopppps well you aren't the first person to screw something up with a dremel and you won't be the last

The pearl is simply luminescent material placed in the bronze well that encloses it. Remove the old one by adding a drop of solvent and dig it out. Then refill it with new lume. It can be a little tricky as it's a lot of lume material and dry with an uneven surface. I did it in two stages. It's important to keep in mind that the lume does shrink some as it cures.

Ahhh.. sound rather difficult.
