I got this buckle off etsy
I'm really enjoying this. Its like the adult version of Operation :p
I mixed the lume very heavy on powder and made sure all the grains where crushed down and covered in binder. It was a two night project.
The first night I placed lume in the number from the backside to form a base to work from.
The second night I applied the lume from the front. Then used a Q-tip soaked in naphtha to clean away the excess. I'm happy with the way it turned out.
I made sure that the buckle is lying in a position that placed the 3 as parallel as possible to the surface. The first night I had some lume settling in a slanted direction.

Anyway enough talk, here are a couple of pics. I charged he lume with a single led flashlight.

Good job mate, I was always curious about those kits.

I think the Lume works good, I havent had Superluminova yet but its better then the lume on my 111.

Thanks guys :)
Can't wait for it to dry completely.

Noctilumina has a website. The kits start at around 35$ I think. But he only ships inside the CONUS.

Its been a good beginners kit for me. I would recommend it.

Please note: THAT IS NOT TRUSTED DEALER W@TCHLUME, IT IS AN IMPOSTER AND A FAR INFERIOR PRODUCT!!!

Both w@tchlume (the real one) and Watchbitz sell lume products here on the board that are far better than that crap. Watchbitz also has a cheap practice kit available.
^^^^^^^^^^^
VERY IMPORTANT



Well done
Nice job
Keep us informed about future development
