Yes, I need to try acetone but it's a restricted chemical here, therefore I need to ask a friend to order it for me.

Wiz,
If you can get fingernail polish remover, then you can get acetone, they are one in the same! Go to a drug store and buy some finger nail polish remover and give it a try.

Wish I had read this post instead of only watching the vid. I would have tried the acetone instead of screwing up a couple markers.
Wiz you def do a great job of walking us through these I would have never tried this had I not viewed this post last week.
Cant wait to waterproof when I'm ready.
Thanks for your effort Wiz.

A friend of mine got me some acetone, so I now use it along with an ultrasound cleaner. It works fine and it's safer than the scalpel method, which requiers a more steady hand.

Interesting regarding acetone and an U/S cleaner

did you use neat acetone in the cleaner?

Not sure what you mean here mate, could you please be more precise?

 

[Bonesey]

neat means pure, without any other additions to the fluid

 

[Wiz]

Ohhh, and U/S = ultrasound. Thanks, I get it now

I don't fill the cleaner with acetone, I fill it with purified water and put a becher that contains pure acetone in the cleaner.

Wow really nice! I'm going to do this as well. May I ask why you wear a mouthguard? (don't know the word) Is it dangerous breathing rep lume?

Lume doesn't quite like humidity

Lume doesn't quite like humidity

Ah so you're protecting the lume and not yourself
Ordered some myself , thanks for the vid it is a great help!

 

[Robt]

I AM GOING TO TRY THIS! haha whats a good lume though?

 

[accord]

great

 

[Tranman]

Awesome video Wiz. A few questions....
-what brand of white paint did you use? Will any white paint work?
-does the lume reduce in volume when it dries?

Looking forward to your pearl relume vid. Thank you so much.

 

[Wiz]

I used enamel model paint, but I guess any paint that is not water-based would do the trick.

Wether the lume reduces or not depends on many variables.

Hey Wiz, what brand of lume do you use?
