Lume questions
1. I see people recommend mixing lume with epoxy for bezel work. Like, what kind of epoxy mix? Mix the lume in it? How much per parts mix is best?
2. Does the indices lume have to be removed then the new lume mix is put on or can you lume over it and it look good?
3. If painting the edges of indices or hands, can model paint be used and if so, what is the best and does it need a top coat?
I'm aware my stuff will suck at first, maybe always, but I want to practice on a few watches and see if I can't get o.k at it for some beater watches. I figure I can always strip them down and start over as much as I need.
Any info and tips would be appreciated. I'm just looking for something to do on my insomnia nights.
I bought a WatchLume kit off ebay, it has mixed reviews, but I got a small mortar grinder to make it finer before mixing it. While playing around, I will keep an eye out for something better.
