Hey all!! I'm looking for 1/4" "Glow in the dark" acrylic or similar material for pins in my handles. Anyone got a source?? Thanks in advance!!
 
What I use is the strontium aluminate super glow powder and put clear/colored acrylic rods as plugs.

I drill a larger hole where the center pin would be. If possible, a 1/2" hole. I put a 1/2" round ( to fit the hole) acrylic rod about 3/16" in one scale with CA (superglue), then fill the hole from the other side until it is about 3/16" from the end, and stick in another acrylic rod with CA on it. I cut the rods about 1/2" long to allow easy insertion, then grind the excess smooth with the handle to 400 grit and buff lightly to get it clear.
Ebay sells the powder in many colors for about $4 an ounce. This stuff will glow all night long. You can read a map by the glow in the dark.
