Hi...there's info here. LUME POST.

The Zigmeister's pics are gone...but they're easy to find here.

As to cost...SSSurfer in the above thread quotes:

"http://www.rctritec.com/index.php?id=13

sales@rctritec.com

Repair sets (1g powder + 1g varnish + 1g diluent + mixing pot and glass rod) were at 41 or 44.20 CHF each, depending on the color (C3 and natural: 41 CHF; C1, white and coloured: 44.20 CHF).

Plus 30-40 CHF shipping & handling, depending on your country (Europe 30, other countries 40).

Those were their prices on March 2007, at least.

Ask Elisabeth politely for one or more sets by qualifying you as an amateur/hobbist watchsmith."

RC Tritec is the ONLY place that sells SL. You can try the cheaper Noctilumina to practice, but what The Zigmeister has said in other posts is that it is harder to work with and apply, and can make the learning curve frustrating. The performance is also not in the same zone as SL...there are posts comparing this on RWG.

My understanding (I could be wrong on this) if memory serves me right , is that one repair kit can do 3 dials and hands?
