Seems like I have a gotten alot of interest in glow scales recently. So, I made a few up to sell here. Here is a good sampling of the types of things I can supply you. If you want something different, I'll be happy to make it up for you. I have a turn around time of about a week just now. I can press most materials as long as they do not have a anti rot or waterproofing. I can twist, stack, wad the materials for all sorts of interesting and unique patterns.
A Bit about Glow Scales
Some materials work better than others.
Yarn and burlap work well-materials with open, coarse fibers seem to trap the fine powders, as well as allow the powder to migrate fairly evenly through the part.
The excess epoxy squeezed out is fairly free of the glow powder, indicating the fibers are trapping most of the powder.
With cloth, like fiberglass, the epoxy can flow, but the powder is "filtered" and tends to stay where poured,and not spread, so careful planning and spreading is needed to make it work out with tightly woven cloth.
The glow powder is available in various colors and brightnesses.
Also note that it needs to be "charged" with light before they glow.
I am using a high quality, clear, UV stabilized, non-blushing (and expen$ive) epoxy resin to hold it all together.
All of the following are available for immediate shipment
Orange canvas and fiberglass in ladder pattern:
3/8" x 1-3/4" x 5-3/4"
$35
Has a subtle glow
2 layers of canvas then 2 layers of fiberglass with daytime glow powder and a touch of orange dye
Yellow canvas and burlap
3/8" x 1-3/4" x 5-1/8"
$30 ***SOLD***
single layers of alternating yellow canvas and yellow burlap set up with yellow daytime glow powder
Has a subtle glow
Yarn based glow scales:
These glow pretty nicely...I used ultra green v10 powder in these ones
Green
7/16" x 1-3/4" x 5"
$37
Pink:
1/4" x 1-3/4" x 5"
$32 ***SOLD***
Here is a pic of the green scales glowing. As I cannot find my tripod, it is rather difficult capturing a pic of the glow:
and one of the orange ladder pattern:
Here is a link to my glow powder supplier, which will answer questions about the glow powder better than I.
Price do not include shipping (USPS envelope for $4.60 for as many as I can stuff in the envelope)
I'll be happy to include shipping with scales from my other sales threads.
Paypal preferred, I'll be happy to make arrangements for other types of payment as well as international shipping.
Please post an "I'll Take It" in this thread to hold it until we make contact via PM or email
Questions/ Comments welcome
Thanks for looking
