I'm wondering if the neons could be illuminated using nylon fibre optic.....hmmmm
Cheers Iggie. Tasman do supply a small sachet of fluorescent powder which I mixed with Future as directed. It did glow in the dark nicely but remained suspended in the Future rather than dissolving as I'd hoped. Maybe a few coats would have achieved a more solid coverage, but in the end I just painted the letters white.
