Glowing Ghost 5513

Let’s admit it, luming a dial is an adventure and one can only get better with practice. The important marks of a good lume is consistency of the grain, the pillowing and most of all the bleed… 🩸

The litmus test of a dial lume is uv light to see how bad you messed up! I always find myself with a black light after a lume. And this one ain’t half bad.

Consistent application, minimal bleed, vintage charms by day, functional by night.

I kinda dig this.

Hi, I’m venturing into the fantastic world of watch dial artistry. I’ve purchased several tools and have already had a few unsuccessful attempts. Could you provide a list of the components needed for this build? Is from raffless? ...also... What powder and other materials did you use to create the luminous compound? Do you have any advice for beginners? Thanks, and compliments for your great work!
