It's a better quality lume than is sold in amounts of 2g for twice the money. The only better product is genuine tritec, I warrant that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twofake 0 Posted August 21, 2013 Hey guys , I bought the watch lume kit from them and does anyone notice it is really gritty ? Maybe I am applying it wrongly but it looks like sand mixed with glue ? I tried less powder and more binder but still looks like crap? I was thinking of trying clear epoxy resin like clear type Araldite and putting the lume powder into that . Any suggestions on getting a smoother finish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking of trying clear epoxy resin like clear type Araldite and putting the lume powder into that . Any suggestions on getting a smoother finish? It's courser than our products yes, courser = brighter glow from inferior pigments. A quality pigment does not need to be as course. It shouldn't be that bad however (lots of folk do use the stuff after all), you may need to experiment with ratios more. Are you using their binder? A lot of folk don't like it very much. I use Floquil model railroad clear coat (the lacquer, not the water based enamel of cause) mixed with their reducer (thinner) and it works very well indeed as well as being dirt cheap.

Do you get the floquil model railroad voter coat at a hobby shop and is it like a clear laquer? I was wondering if the watch line powder can be ground finer.

This stuff is really good for NON TRITEC ! We can say almost same like superlume used in reps if not better. Got for it mate, you can give rest to your girlfriend so she can have glowing nails at night haha or lume something in house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warcelo 0 Posted August 21, 2013 I will take the lume here! I will give the rest to my GF to paint her nails! hahahahha I've done relume in watch's hands and i'm very skilled for handling small stuff ( i service my watches doing total assembling and disassembling even the ones with 7750 ) but i'm concerned about doing the dial dots... What do you guys think? Is it that hard? Planning to relume 2 PO 42 Ultimate. Thanks, you guys are awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I am using their binder which I assume is cheap PVA non water resistant glue? This is what I use: Thinner: http://www.testors.com/product/133533/F110001/_/Thinner_Brush_Cleaner_-_1oz. Flat: http://www.testors.com/product/133537/F110015/_/Flat_Finish__1_oz._Floquil_-_1_oz._Bottle Gloss: http://www.testors.com/product/133537/F110003/_/Hi-Gloss_-_1_oz._Bottle I'm not sure what WL use as a binder but it can't be water based unless they are now using a coated lume powder as normal lume is destroyed by water based binders. If it is water based that would explain the large grain size as there needs to be a coating on the pigment to prevent the water based binder soaking in. In this case you will not be able to grind it smoother as it will destroy the coating. Mind you , if it is uncoated pigment and a water based binder that would explain the lumpiness. I find it hard to believe WL would have done that tho as I'm sure Alvin is smarter than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warcelo 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Have anyone tried bi component varnish as binder? I use it for guitar finish and it seems to be a good binder, very clear, 2 hours to dry and very hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted August 22, 2013 Have anyone tried bi component varnish as binder? I use it for guitar finish and it seems to be a good binder, very clear, 2 hours to dry and very hard. why not try a sample? just use a piece of plastic or steel as a test card and see how it comes out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
