Watch hand luminous paint11/16/2023 ![]() ![]() First I put a tiny amount of the glue in a clean oiling cup, then I add the luminous powder until opaque then I thin the mixture until it has the desired consistency for the job at hand. When using the Super-Luminova you can mix the paint powder(pigment), binder(glue), and thinner in many different proportions so as to get exactly the consistency needed. I have used Bergeon luminous paint and sometimes Newall tritium to refill luminous hands but super luminova type by far is the best. Lacquer works better when painting the surface of hands. This paint also works well on sweep second hands when it is thinned properly. I sometimes use lacquer-based model paint to refill paint-filled hands but good water based paint works well to refill hands due to its elasticity. You can also sometimes try using gun bluing touch-up pens or permanent marker, but I only would suggest this as a last resort. Be sure hands are completely polished and extremely clean before bluing. Extra fine pumice powder works very well for very fine hands. I also often use pumice powder, brass filings, caustic bluing and a few others, You need to try different things until you find what works well for you. To refinish (Steel) blued hands follow above steps 1 through 5, then place hands on a plate of steel or brass, (You can also set the hands on a pile of brass shavings or pumice powder) hold the plate with a pair of pliers and heat bottom with alcohol lamp or torch just until hands start to change blue dump them into a can of water. The problem with using wood is sometimes pieces get into the paint and the wood also absorbs the paint quickly. If you need more paint than can be picked up using a clock oiler, try a toothpick.
