DIY Glow Gaskets for Triples and Other Glow Stuff

Those look good! Nice job! Thanks for the tutorial.

Nice work CRX, a lot less messy than me mixing V10 powder with epoxy and slopping it around. :zipper_mouth_face:

I will be looking for some GITD tape for future glow mods.

Thanks, though I rushed these a bit they still look alright. :+1:

Yeah I just added some GITD to these 47’s too with the powder & epoxy, not as easy.

Sweet, love the look. :beer:

Would it be possible to use Lexel’s lighted TIR board with UV LED to excite the phosphor? Should allow much cleaner beam than the LEDs by themselves. :slight_smile:

Nice work as usual CRX!

May I ask what triple optic you used to explain the development process?

Thank you for posting this! Very insightful and I have never approached this kind of mod before. I might now!

Nice. 4 triples and 2 quads please :email: :sunglasses:

I wonder if someone could create printable templates for common optics…

Here's some examples using the SGN3, Off, low white, UV, Red, Off.

I don't think having low powered charging LED's close to this tape would work very well. Maybe that setup would work better with the tape on the sidewall?

I did use a similar method on the SL, these are eight fairly strong UV LED's though.

Thanks. Carclo 10507 20mm size used there.

We're out of quads at the moment but I got your triples :P

There is someone selling printed versions, wouldn't be too difficult to make I think. (With a printer) O:)

Doesn’t ship to my country.
Anyway, I may try to print some template. Probably no earlier than October though….

Cool. Show us what you come up with :+1:
I’ve seen a few different guys advertising these, pricey though and some are too thick, cause problems.

Thanks to this thread I got the motivation to do the same on my M43.
A little sloppy but I like it :slight_smile:

Nice, thanks for showing :+1:

Wow finges, that GITD looks really bright! Is it that bright in real life? You almost don’t even need the flashlight!

I took this pic directly after a turbo blast with the light directly against a white wall :wink:

Is there a good GITD paint available? Seems like that might be easier and neater for some of these applications.

This one is highly rated:

Note that they don’t ship paint internationally.

It is also possible to buy pigment and mix it with paint.

What quads do you do?

Haven’t done any quads with the powder as I would need to make another mould but they would be made the same way.
