New glowy stuff!
Tiny drop-shaped vials with a resin mix of green and aqua glow pigment plus blue dye, in different amounts.

Two more vials outside the pixture, one of them with too little glow pigment but the very pale blue looking almost clear, so it's still pretty.

I had planned to do just three vials tonight, but it was too much resin despite the tiny amount I mixed.

Glowy stuff of the day: An experiment in reducing sediment and microbubbles, featuring reduced amounts of glow pigment, a warm water bath for the unmixed components, and heavy use of a heat gun.

Left one is pigment A, very fine powder; middle has a mix of A and B; rightmost one is pigment B, by the same vendor as the resin but not quite as fine as pigment A.
All green glow and blue dye.

Today's batch of glow bottles: pale colouring, and less glow pigment than yesterday, in hopes of not as much glowy sediment collecting at the bottom.

Last glow vial of the year as I'm out of mini bottles.
Only a small amount of dye added this time as I hope to achieve a better balance/compromise of night glow and day colour this way.
Also mixed two glow pigment colours — lots of the bright yellow-green and a little bit of the dimmer turquoise.

Do you want to see something cool?
I charged the pure glow-in-the-dark pigments in front of my daylight lamp.

(So far I've only used the colour on the left as it's the brightest version.)

Here we glow :D

Halfway cured, almost solid now. There's some glow pigment sediment noticable at the bottom, especially in the bottle on the left where I added liquid dye.

Now waiting for the package with an additive that's supposed to help with the sinking pigment crystals.
