Rusty Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I wonder if the material (radium) they are using, is what they used to use on watch faces, that later caused cancer in some of the people that installed them on the watch faces? Not sure of what they are using, but I would check it out. Using radium here in the states is no longer practiced, but if they are imported, it could possible be radium. They found Iraqi tanks during the Gulf War were using radium on their dials. So it is still a chance. Could be another Chinesse import, and we know how well they watch things.
Dave Cook Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I've bought a lot of stuff from this ebay seller. He has great combined shipping costs and gets it out fast. I've thought about the glow in the dark beads but I already have the glow in the dark powder paint. I take a size 6 jig hook and wrap a little copper wire where your lead ball usually sits and then I heat it and dip into the paint until I build it up to the size I like. Then you can tie a jig fly without a lot of weight but with a larger hook and a wade of glow in the dark in front. White bunny and glow in the dark painted jigs make a pretty good night-time fly.

Flysmallie Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 It says they are painted. Probably either with the powder that Dave uses or there are lot's of paints out today that glow in the dark. Maybe we should paint Leonards van so we can track him.
Leonard Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks Mike... But already have a few.. alone with glow in the dark plastic beads, tying thread, flashabou (4 colors)... Leonard Hey Ronnie..

Flysmallie Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Hey Ronnie.. Good to see you.. where have you been hidden.... or should I even ask...LOL I know it has been fishing... The whole problem is that none of my time has been spent fishing. It's either way too cold (I still have nightmares about New Years Day) or I have about a billion other things that need to be done. Between a job, the wife and three high maintenance daughters there is just no time. And to top it all off I have some new waders that I spent way too much money on for them just to be sitting in a box. I'm going to try to hit Taney on Friday, but I'm sure we will have another ice storm/blizzard by then!!
Terry Beeson Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Maybe we should paint Leonards van so we can track him. ...already have a few.. alone with glow in the dark plastic beads, tying thread, flashabou (4 colors)... Haven't you noticed that Leonard and the van already glow in the dark?
