Ready, Set, GLOW!!!

[Skye]

Here's a modified slimline in some Dymondwood I got off Fangar. At first thought the green would be a waste of money, but then I came up with this:

Not too shabby...

Hmmm,.... what are these bands made from:

Turn out the lights and:

I filled it with some superpowered phosphorescent powder. This stuff glows like mad. Get it charged up and it'll glow while the lights are still on!

I like it, Skye! You got a sharp finish on it, and oh look, it glows in the dark[][]

Very very nice, Skye. Your finish is fantastic! Are you going to turn one of your modified slims at Bubbasville SE?

Sure man, I may be doing it a little early, I've got to get to Chris' a little early. I'll try to hold off till people show though.

The powder came from http://www.readysetglo.com/

I've got enough to make some glowing PR pens, just dont have the time, lol

Wow! It glows by day with that Dymondwood and it glows by night!!! If anybody nearby tried to glow, your finish throws it right back at them!! Amazing!! Just be careful around amorous lightening bugs......[]

Way cool Skye...

I really like the look of the pen itself too!

Real nice Skye that is some real nice work and thinking out of the box!!

Thanks guys, yeah it was strange, as I was turning it down it would glow occasionaly. I guess for some reason the metal of the tools were charging the powder. Crazy.

Skye, I'm going to start calling you the King of Bands. The bands look good with the blank with the kit. The fact that they glow is just GRAVY. Great work. If it wasn't so far, I'd drive down just to see you turn one

 

[Skye]

You could always drive to Bubbasville in December. Take the wife on a nice 'vacation' to Atlanta. (bahhahaaaaa)

 

[gerryr]

Very cool idea and well done.

Put it near the nib end see what you write in the dark?

 

[Skye]

Heh, you just about could. I havent had time to really test the stuff, but you're supposed to be able to charge it for a few hours and get something like 8 hours worth of glow time out of it. I dont know how bright it'll be though. I bet if you made a whole pen from it you could do that. Then again, it would be smarter to write while the pen is charging, lol

WOW....now where's that jaw dropping Icon at?

Skye forget the glow ....your finish is awesome!!!!

 

[Skye]

Thanks man, the finish is CA as well as something someone is calling "SKP"....

Wow, I've never seen that before. Awesome work on the pen and the bands. I've got to try that modification some time.
