JSJ 0 Posted April 14, 2014 Good job Joran . I've done a bit. The RWG shop lume is the best I've used but I haven't tried Tritec. Wanted to develop a little bit of skill first. I find the waterbased acrylic varnishes dry too quickly so I'm using spirit based now. Took me a while to work that out. It would be great to know what you guys are using. By the way, hows the spirit based one? And which one are u using? I'm using Humbrol gloss enamel. Haven't done much with it yet so when the cheapie DSSD and the blue lume from the RWG shop arrive I will know a bit more. EDIT: and I'm going to waterproof it and test it to 5 bar... maybe 6. I just enjoy playing around with this stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odyseus 1 Posted April 15, 2014 Just buy some Bergeon binder and a Thinner or get some from Watchlume.net Quality is good from bergeon? I did read some bad reviews... The binder is fine, plus the bottle has a really good seal so I've owned some for months without it drying out. The Bergeon lunes aren't great best stick to Tritec SuperLuminova Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A year ago I bought shoes for at work, they cost me around 250€. Because of the leather being so damn nice and the shoes didn't wear that nice, I thought; let's make a strap out of them! Can't be too hard to actually make a strap......... I ended up with two destroyed shoes and the most ugly strap I've ever seen. :lmao: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edwinowl 180 Posted April 15, 2014 Not sure if you've been over at HF but there's a guy in UK Holio Cornolio he's actually working in a lab and makes his own. Best I've used he does vintage through to any modern. I also use nail varnish and a little thinner should it be needed. Just a heads up really guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never thought of nail varnish but it is well worth a try. Do you have a link for his threads on HF please? Breathing nail varnish could save on whisky costs too. Gotta be worth a go.
