To mix small batches of resin, I simply put down a couple layers blue painters tape on the bench, then dose and mix the resin right on the tape. Peel up the tape and discard when done. Nice and clean and not too much waste (assuming I didn't get overly aggressive when squirting out the resin A+B parts).

Thanks for the heads up Big Clive! It would be cool to seal the end of a few LEDs with that strontium aluminate. Say make a circuit that has 20 seconds on, 40 seconds off. Battery extender emergency light :-)
I've modified the eyes of a plush animal with homemade glow in the dark eyes and rgb LEDs and lenses. That looks so cool and really creepy indeed xD I can let the eyes fade through RGB colors, blink or flash them and if it's powered off, it glows very well visible for the whole night. You need to turn on the LEDs only for a few seconds and it glows for many hours. If you turn off the LEDs, you can see the glow even at daytime for a few minutes, because the bright LEDs shine directly through the thin layers of the glow in the dark color, charging it perfectly. This is a really nice toy for Halloween pranks with some speakers, a microcontroller and a sound module. It absolutely looks like a regular plush toy, until it awakes ^^
This reminds me of a ghost busters shirt I had as a child. I didn't realize it glowed in the dark. One night I wore it to bed one night and I woke up in the middle of the night. It freaked me out because my chest was glowing. So I snapped the covers off and then realized it was slimer glowing!
My sons room ceiling fan came with a glow in the dark Ghostbusters decal around the glass enclosure. I don't want to change it, because it's just awesome. Haha says the real Ghostbusters and I've been slimed.

Very interesting! I remember some company was offering a "survival"flashlight/torch that could be used as a regular flashlight but it had an accessory that you could excite with the flashlight and use it as a low power illuminator for use in ones tent.
Yeah, have an AA/14500 light that has a GITD o ring sealing the lens. So when flashlight is on, gets energised and glow once off. Also came with a silicone GITD top hat style diffuser, and that also gets energised whilst in the light is on. It's a Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 (£17 on Amazon UK, $21 US, £12 from China)
Your humour kills me and takes nothing away from your expertise. Listening to you reminds me of Ivor Cutler. You really should have your own TV program. 🤩
@Eddie Hitler Yeah, good luck getting that through customs lol, unless it's so dilute it's not putting off enough to be a problem. Not to mention that the expense behind actually doing that would be literally insane for no real good reason. It's one thing if they're doing it to save money, that's at least rational, but spending orders of magnitude of additional money to "dispose of radioactive strontium isotopes", which would require purification of strontium from the other radioactive atoms in the nuclear waste (this is *very* expensive and time consuming, all for the ~5% of Strontium in the waste?), handling of the radioactive material, etc., when they could just store their radioactive waste anywhere from completely to mildly irresponsibly like most countries do for a hell of a lot less cost and effort. That's called paranoia, Hitler.
@Eddie Hitler "I found a quote that j think supports my position but I don't really understand it at all because otherwise I wouldn't use it because it doesn't" Thats referring to this paper (I found a link for you with no paywall, even): core.ac.uk/download/pdf/33591963.pdf And to be clear, it's talking about long term storage in cement. It wouldn't glow (the glow comes from doping it with different ions), and it wouldn't be cost effective, at all. As a long term storage (I.e. safe, effective, _proper_ storage of nuclear waste, which no countries currently do, though Finland has their Olkiluoto storage facility under construction which would be the first) it would work, that's what that means. And I'm sorry if you meant that as a joke, because it wasn't funny, I think given the fact that you said "there's always the possibility..." And then responded with a quote about it meant you were serious, and are trying to say it was a joke once you realized just how insane it is. I could maybe see how it could be humorous if you're really racist against Chinese people, super paranoid, and have no understanding of physics or chemistry, which, in fairness, that does fit the Hitler name. Also, no, sadly it wouldn't glow from ionizing radiation. The excitation wavelength depends on the formulation (the dopants, and the exact mixture of them) and is anywhere from UV to red, maybe near IR. Gamma radiation would be way to energetic to excite it.
@Eddie Hitler Mate, you're the one who got butthurt. I wasn't aware we were arguing. I was just adding to the discussion because it was so humorously wrong. You're an odd one. Anyway, in regards to whether Strontium Aluminate can phosphoresce under ionizing radiation, there's no (known, anyway) dopant that would allow ionizing radiation (which is several orders of magnitudes smaller wavelength than the light we use for this stuff) to cause strontium aluminate to be phosphorescent. A spinthariscope is very, very different, and works in a completely different way. From Wikipedia: "It consisted of a small screen coated with zinc sulfide affixed to the end of a tube, with a tiny amount of radium salt suspended a short distance from the screen and a lens on the other end of the tube for viewing the screen." I mean, you could probably make one with Strontium Aluminate, and some other radioactive element, but the mechanism isn't the same. I'd describe the physics of how they work, but I doubt you even care. Sad, it's interesting. Is your last name even Hitler, or are you just trying to be an edgelord? I have trouble taking anything you say seriously because I assume you're a troll. My sincere apologies if that's your birth name, that can't be fun.
You could probably stretch the pigment a lot further by just coating the inside of the vial with a glue and letting it capture the pigment. No need to fill the center of the vial.
Clive love your naughty suggestion. I think we got the picture. I’ve been in a London night club at New Years when a friend spun a glow stick which broke and spattered everyone with luminous gunk . Such fun and ruined clothes.
Clive! If you haven't used the mix in bag method for tiny bits of resin, I'd suggest it. Using a mixing stick (I get mine from my local coffee shop too) you can mix it by rolling the stick over the bag from the outside, then work it into a corner. Snip the corner off, making just a tiny hole, and SQUEEZE it out, ever so gently, viola! The thicker bags work better. No messy cups and you can shoot it into TiNy CrEvIcEs. ;)
I drilled out the screws for switch cover plates and glues tritium vials in. I know there's lighted toggle switches but I wanted to recreate radium glowing screws I saw in a 1925 electrical supply catalog.
Clive, a great old trick for getting resin, super glue, and all other sorts of adhesives off your fingers... high grit sand paper and gently polishing it away. It doesn't hurt in the least, and works excellently for super glue in particular.
These were a pet peeve of mine when I was in the army. People would have them all over their kit and helmets! But now I'm thinking a fun alternative to battery powered LED string lights for the garden that you never need to worry about water or batteries deep discharging. Tempting! Tappy tap tap!
Long term occupational exposure will likely lead to lung silicosis. But otherwise, you've probably experienced worse. It's basically got a slightly higher hardness than sand and about the same reactivity as sand, it's pretty damn inert.
Welcome. Make sure you're also subscribed to the live channel, "BigCliveLive" and have notifications set to "All". Bad Dragon mentions are fairly common there.
You might wanna try adding glow in the dark powder to casting resin and then try casting something. Casting resin is a lot less viscous and has a longer working time than normal epoxy, so it's easier to get artsy with it
Tips for 2 part epoxy. Keep wood alcohol (menthol from the hardware store paint section) handy. It makes quick clean up of the resin before it sets. A disposable hypodermic syringe with an applicator needle works wonders filling small tubes and cavities. Add the resin with the tube tilted so it does not run to the needle. Insert the plunger and with the needle pointed up, press out the air and the resin bubble free will collect on the piston. With the air out, insert the needle to the bottom of the cavity to fill and fill from the bottom up. Creates good fills with few if any trapped air bubbles. If you are quick with the alcohol, you can clean the needle and syringe for the next glue job.
You said, you have to pack it tightly, to avoid un-excited powder to come to the outer side. So it is quite wasteful to fill them completely with powder. You should make it similar to fluorescent tubes: just cover the glass wall with powder. Either by filling in some quite low viscosity glue or lacquer and pour this out, then fill it with powder and also pour out the amount which does not stick or mix a very low viscosity resin with the powder, fill it in the vial swirl it around quickly and pour the rest into the next vial.
Big Clive, could you do a teardown on this device/game called "Don't lose your cool"? It's made by Hasbro. Cost $3 here in the states. It supposedly has a pulse sensor and can pick up your heart rate! But does it really?
@@bigclivedotcom Maybe? Makes sense to me. I've been learning electronics as small components. I bought one & tore it down. It's amazing they can get all of that crammed packed into a $3 toy! It had a blotted dot chip Inside at the main processing.
@@bigclivedotcom I forgot to mention. The LED sensor actually has the word "PCB Sensor VOR4" wrote on the board. There's a total of 3 circuit boards with a speaker. One circuit board is double sided. "The sensor"
I recently bought a product called Ni Glo Gear Marker by Gear Aid that is basically the same as Clive's pendant. It is very bright when I give it a quick charge with a high power LED flashlight. So bright I could almost read by it. Fades over time, but stays luminescent for a solid 6 hours.
May I recommend LBRY as an alternative video platform? I found it due to Dave Jones of EEVBlog, so that's no small recommendation. He's still recommending it himself :)
By the way dear Clive, there are nozzles you can buy for two-part resins that will mix the components inside said nozzle before it exits. This should make your precision resin work a lot easier.
Aren't these a one-use proposition i.e. they'll be useful as long as the two parts are _flowing through_ -- after which they are trash? If single-use, they're wasteful, unless you're applying the entire quantity of the two parts in the tubes. Cheap, small, low-waste mixing nozzles for hand-size resin and epoxy syringes would be wonderful.
i think that the optical properties of the resin might help any incoming UV light to scatter deeper beneath the surface, compared to just having bare powder, and also in turn scatter the glow from the deeper parts of whatever you are making that is my explanation for why the resin 'pebble' glows much more than the powder vial
Bad Dragon is the official supplier of such goods for this channel. Mentions are fairly common, especially on BigCliveLive broadcasts. Make sure you're subscribed to that channel as well.
Interesting video I restore watches and sometimes have to repaint the dials, buy far the best lume is strontium aluminate, however its the purity you can actually make this stuff your self in a microwave but its very difficult to get in pure form. I believe Seiko invented this stuff and it became available in the late 90's.
@@Alexander_l322 It's completely non-toxic but it is a high abrasive. By all reason, should be about as bad as eating sand? Mohs hardness around 7.5, Quarts is 7, so a good bit more abrasive than sand, but not too much more abrasive. I think he would find digestive tract lacerations bothersome if he ate it regularly, but he'd live to tell us that we shouldn't do it.
@@SianaGearz that's nice to hear but I wouldn't expect the power to be non toxic in all forms as its probably got some carcinogen or some shit in it that's not in the ingredients.
Great video. I like glow in the dark stuff. I bought 5 Tritium key rings and they said they had a 10 year life, that was 22 years ago and they are still glowing. I also have some really good glow in the dark 3d printer PLA filament. I printed some astological stuff and stuck it on the ceiling in the bedroom 3 years ago and they are still glowing like mad ALL night long, and from very little charging.
Clive thank you so much for this video I’ve been wondering which powder is best, please do test which powder stays lit up the longest time, like the type they mix into emergency stripes for fire staircase so ppl see the stairs in the dark
The silver doped one makes a good alpha scintillating coating. Spray a piece of clear plastic with a very thin layer of glue and use static to apply the powder. It glows visibly with a smoke detector source. ❤
"The factory that makes these packages must look great at night!".... By FACTORY, is a Chinese family in a grass hut on their dinner table filling bags from buckets which are probably in the trash from a factory marked "REJECTED".
Actually you should always try to paint a thin layer because the light is effectively absorbed and emitted by the outer layers of the powder (the power inside is just a filler). In thin layers the quenching will also be reduced. Use a little alcohol (or isopropyl alcohol) to make the epoxy a little thinner and easier to use.
Greetings and happy pride month from a new fan happy to find your videos! Really keen to try some of those! Recently I was looking to buy a resin and glow in the dark powders to decorate glassware with. I'm not too sure what epoxy or resin mix to use that would stick to glass and be ok with being hand washed and slight exposure to dishwashing chemicals and rubbing alcohol.
A platform for your more risqué videos could be LBRY.tv / LBRY.social. They also allow you to set up synchronisation of your entire TH-cam video collection as a backup, which can be handy should you suddenly get strikes on your channel. It integrates with the LBRY cryptocurrency with the concepts of micro-payments either priced by you or via tips. It is still in its infancy, so it isn't on par with TH-cam in terms of features - particularly with commenting and performance due to its decentralised architecture.
Hey Clive, Thanks for making the video it is great. Is the Strontium aluminate safe? For example: If a person purchased a large quantity and mixed it with varnish then coated a table with it. Would it be safe or could there be bleedthru if a person put food on the bare table?
Clive I have some pigment that's from technoglow, this stuff is so strong once charged it will light up an entire room for a while has a good charge life too of a few hours
Did I hear Bad Dragon owo I've heard that some gun channels started uploading to pornhub because of youtube's high restrictions. Maybe something to consider.
I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of certain channel types started to use pornhub or something similar as a new platform there's only so much fuckery TH-cam can get away with before people start looking elsewhere
You probably mean InrangeTV and it did this mostly as a joke and a statement. They uploaded videos on different video hosting sites to try and get people away from youtube. At least i didn't hear about any other gun channels doing this.
Hey Clive! A tip to mix a small quantity of epoxy: put some duct tape on your desk, 2 strip wide slightly overlaping. Then put the epoxy on it, and now you have a nice flat place to mix your epoxy. Once done, rip it off and trash, or leave the tape there for a while, so you can monitor the curing!
@@bigclivedotcom I often have to do some small batches and that is the trick I found to work for me. You can take a popsicle stick and cut the round edge for a flat ended mixing stick, work also great!
Ireland has Uranium deposits, decay products are Radon and Polonium, with a half life of 3.8 and 138 days respectively. Plutonium-244, has a half-life of 80.8 million years. A walk around the beach near Sellafield may be rewarding.
There is an air-curing rubberized product named Sugru. Available in several primary colors and black,it is a fun product to use to make 3-D objects. Cure time is about 30 minutes and cleans up quickly off the fingers.
You are correct the Glasgow subway is just bad... Always humid (yet inexplicably rarely warm despite this), with wet floors, and so low too that I've not been able to stand up in one since I was a kid.
That new glow powder seems like it would be cool to mix in with a clear epoxy and make one of those acrylic or glass awards. Might use that pigment powder to repaint some old watches I have where the hands have stopped glowing.
The violet laser and glow in the dark combo is quite something. You could achieve some amazing effects with a vector laser projector and a wall of the stuff. Like a slow motion CRT.
@@bigclivedotcom I wonder if you could mix all three together and stimulate them independently with different wavelengths? Then resolution would only be limited by what your laser galvos could do.
Y'know having seen this video and some of the other stuff with that phone, it's absolutely worth every penny. If I upgrade in the next couple of year I'm getting one.
I made something like this a few years ago as find-in-the-dark keyrings. I used clear plastic tube and sealed the ends with hot glue. The best glow in the dark powder came from Kilabitzzz Ltd. Green is definitely the brightest and they sell a large granule powder which is brighter and glows for longer. See their website for lots of glow-in-the-dark information. They also sell on ebay and Amazon.

Try packing the tube with the powder then add a few drops of 'super glue'- that will make a glowing solid mass in the tube.
can be rather exothermic though.

I remember some company was offering a "survival"flashlight/torch that could be used as a regular flashlight but it had an accessory that you could excite with the flashlight and use it as a low power illuminator for use in ones tent.
Yeah, have an AA/14500 light that has a GITD o ring sealing the lens. So when flashlight is on, gets energised and glow once off.
Also came with a silicone GITD top hat style diffuser, and that also gets energised whilst in the light is on.
It's a Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 (£17 on Amazon UK, $21 US, £12 from China)
Your humour kills me and takes nothing away from your expertise. Listening to you reminds me of Ivor Cutler. You really should have your own TV program. 🤩
Mix it with a water based exterior wall covering (Mathys Acrylic Coatings, or Snow-Cem, for example) and have your own glow in the dark house!
I'd like to see you run a Geiger counter over them just the same.
@Eddie Hitler IF it is just strontium aluminate. It's a Chinese product, hence the big if.
@Eddie Hitler Yeah, good luck getting that through customs lol, unless it's so dilute it's not putting off enough to be a problem.
Not to mention that the expense behind actually doing that would be literally insane for no real good reason.
It's one thing if they're doing it to save money, that's at least rational, but spending orders of magnitude of additional money to "dispose of radioactive strontium isotopes", which would require purification of strontium from the other radioactive atoms in the nuclear waste (this is *very* expensive and time consuming, all for the ~5% of Strontium in the waste?), handling of the radioactive material, etc., when they could just store their radioactive waste anywhere from completely to mildly irresponsibly like most countries do for a hell of a lot less cost and effort.
That's called paranoia, Hitler.
@Eddie Hitler Of course it charges with ionizing radiation. It's called a spinthariscope.
@Eddie Hitler "I found a quote that j think supports my position but I don't really understand it at all because otherwise I wouldn't use it because it doesn't"
Thats referring to this paper (I found a link for you with no paywall, even): core.ac.uk/download/pdf/33591963.pdf
And to be clear, it's talking about long term storage in cement. It wouldn't glow (the glow comes from doping it with different ions), and it wouldn't be cost effective, at all. As a long term storage (I.e. safe, effective, _proper_ storage of nuclear waste, which no countries currently do, though Finland has their Olkiluoto storage facility under construction which would be the first) it would work, that's what that means.
And I'm sorry if you meant that as a joke, because it wasn't funny, I think given the fact that you said "there's always the possibility..." And then responded with a quote about it meant you were serious, and are trying to say it was a joke once you realized just how insane it is.
I could maybe see how it could be humorous if you're really racist against Chinese people, super paranoid, and have no understanding of physics or chemistry, which, in fairness, that does fit the Hitler name.
Also, no, sadly it wouldn't glow from ionizing radiation. The excitation wavelength depends on the formulation (the dopants, and the exact mixture of them) and is anywhere from UV to red, maybe near IR. Gamma radiation would be way to energetic to excite it.
@Eddie Hitler Mate, you're the one who got butthurt. I wasn't aware we were arguing. I was just adding to the discussion because it was so humorously wrong. You're an odd one.
Anyway, in regards to whether Strontium Aluminate can phosphoresce under ionizing radiation, there's no (known, anyway) dopant that would allow ionizing radiation (which is several orders of magnitudes smaller wavelength than the light we use for this stuff) to cause strontium aluminate to be phosphorescent.
A spinthariscope is very, very different, and works in a completely different way. From Wikipedia: "It consisted of a small screen coated with zinc sulfide affixed to the end of a tube, with a tiny amount of radium salt suspended a short distance from the screen and a lens on the other end of the tube for viewing the screen."
I mean, you could probably make one with Strontium Aluminate, and some other radioactive element, but the mechanism isn't the same.
I'd describe the physics of how they work, but I doubt you even care. Sad, it's interesting.
Is your last name even Hitler, or are you just trying to be an edgelord? I have trouble taking anything you say seriously because I assume you're a troll. My sincere apologies if that's your birth name, that can't be fun.
Its a 'tappy, tap tap' carefulling now.
Crossover video between BigClive and AvE would break this side of TH-cam...
@@securi-t Then add the hydraulic press channel and a bit of Iron Maiden and the internet would be destroyed.
10:40 ahhh, remember when it was "if" the coronavirus came?
You could probably stretch the pigment a lot further by just coating the inside of the vial with a glue and letting it capture the pigment.
No need to fill the center of the vial.
1kreature it wouldn’t be quite as bright, but that’s what I was think too
Clive love your naughty suggestion. I think we got the picture. I’ve been in a London night club at New Years when a friend spun a glow stick which broke and spattered everyone with luminous gunk . Such fun and ruined clothes.
AAA I'd pay to see that bad dragon video lmao
Why do I enjoy this guy's commentary so much? Keep it up Clive. Donation sent
When you said 'protect the delicate countries.' just used a few too many letters in the last word.
Clive! If you haven't used the mix in bag method for tiny bits of resin, I'd suggest it. Using a mixing stick (I get mine from my local coffee shop too) you can mix it by rolling the stick over the bag from the outside, then work it into a corner. Snip the corner off, making just a tiny hole, and SQUEEZE it out, ever so gently, viola! The thicker bags work better. No messy cups and you can shoot it into TiNy CrEvIcEs. ;)
I drilled out the screws for switch cover plates and glues tritium vials in. I know there's lighted toggle switches but I wanted to recreate radium glowing screws I saw in a 1925 electrical supply catalog.
Clive, a great old trick for getting resin, super glue, and all other sorts of adhesives off your fingers... high grit sand paper and gently polishing it away.
It doesn't hurt in the least, and works excellently for super glue in particular.
These were a pet peeve of mine when I was in the army. People would have them all over their kit and helmets!
But now I'm thinking a fun alternative to battery powered LED string lights for the garden that you never need to worry about water or batteries deep discharging. Tempting!
Tappy tap tap!
Video went online today, comment is from one week ago. Hooray for early access confusion!
@@Offensive_Username lol. It goes out earlier to Patreons :)
Offensive Username - true aliens would know about the TARDIS technology that Clive uses 😉
Try encapsulated powders for outdoor use
Clive you could use LBRY to upload your dragon miniature p..... version there :)
Okay, you got me curious. I would like to see the alternative project please!
I really like your voice ... It just calms me down
Looks like magic which makes me afraid to accidentally inhale something I know nothing about lol. Going to order some to play with anyway.
Long term occupational exposure will likely lead to lung silicosis.
But otherwise, you've probably experienced worse. It's basically got a slightly higher hardness than sand and about the same reactivity as sand, it's pretty damn inert.
Mmm, excitement! :) thanks for another fun video! I'm really happy I stumbled across your channel!
you mentioned bad dragon. instantly liked and subscribed.
Welcome.
Make sure you're also subscribed to the live channel, "BigCliveLive" and have notifications set to "All".
Bad Dragon mentions are fairly common there.
Frickin furry. Same tho
hearing you talk about the beginning of the pandemic is pretty eerie clive
It turned out slightly differently than expected.
You might wanna try adding glow in the dark powder to casting resin and then try casting something. Casting resin is a lot less viscous and has a longer working time than normal epoxy, so it's easier to get artsy with it
Tips for 2 part epoxy. Keep wood alcohol (menthol from the hardware store paint section) handy. It makes quick clean up of the resin before it sets. A disposable hypodermic syringe with an applicator needle works wonders filling small tubes and cavities. Add the resin with the tube tilted so it does not run to the needle. Insert the plunger and with the needle pointed up, press out the air and the resin bubble free will collect on the piston. With the air out, insert the needle to the bottom of the cavity to fill and fill from the bottom up. Creates good fills with few if any trapped air bubbles. If you are quick with the alcohol, you can clean the needle and syringe for the next glue job.
"Let me show you this" _proceeds to blind us through the screen_
You said, you have to pack it tightly, to avoid un-excited powder to come to the outer side. So it is quite wasteful to fill them completely with powder. You should make it similar to fluorescent tubes: just cover the glass wall with powder. Either by filling in some quite low viscosity glue or lacquer and pour this out, then fill it with powder and also pour out the amount which does not stick or mix a very low viscosity resin with the powder, fill it in the vial swirl it around quickly and pour the rest into the next vial.
Big Clive, could you do a teardown on this device/game called "Don't lose your cool"?
It's made by Hasbro. Cost $3 here in the states. It supposedly has a pulse sensor and can pick up your heart rate! But does it really?
I have a £5 Yoho Sports smartwatch that estimates blood pressure optically! I'd love someone to explain the algorithm behind that!
Sounds like a simple red light transmission system that detects the modulation of the light by the blood flow
Not sure about blood pressure, but the blood oximeters use infrared to measure the oxygen level in your blood.
@@bigclivedotcom Maybe? Makes sense to me.
I've been learning electronics as small components. I bought one & tore it down. It's amazing they can get all of that crammed packed into a $3 toy! It had a blotted dot chip Inside at the main processing.
@@bigclivedotcom I forgot to mention. The LED sensor actually has the word "PCB Sensor VOR4" wrote on the board. There's a total of 3 circuit boards with a speaker. One circuit board is double sided. "The sensor"
I recently bought a product called Ni Glo Gear Marker by Gear Aid that is basically the same as Clive's pendant. It is very bright when I give it a quick charge with a high power LED flashlight. So bright I could almost read by it. Fades over time, but stays luminescent for a solid 6 hours.
Looking forward to 'Bigclive's dodgy channel of glow in the dark smut and smut accessories' .. no really.
Clive you dirty bird. I'll never think of you the same way again!
You cain't never trust a pretty boy wot glows in the the dark. that's for damned sure, and Lord knows I've tried.
It never turns out well.
Yeess.
May I recommend LBRY as an alternative video platform?
I found it due to Dave Jones of EEVBlog, so that's no small recommendation. He's still recommending it himself :)
Perfect information. Been looking for a cheap source for adding glow to my fishing lures.
....but where's the capacitive dropper?
By the way dear Clive, there are nozzles you can buy for two-part resins that will mix the components inside said nozzle before it exits. This should make your precision resin work a lot easier.
Aren't these a one-use proposition i.e. they'll be useful as long as the two parts are _flowing through_ -- after which they are trash? If single-use, they're wasteful, unless you're applying the entire quantity of the two parts in the tubes. Cheap, small, low-waste mixing nozzles for hand-size resin and epoxy syringes would be wonderful.
Deception on a chinese product?
Some Guy noooooo
scandalous!
i think that the optical properties of the resin might help any incoming UV light to scatter deeper beneath the surface, compared to just having bare powder, and also in turn scatter the glow from the deeper parts of whatever you are making
that is my explanation for why the resin 'pebble' glows much more than the powder vial
Omg was knot EXPECTING to hear bad dragon in this video X3
Bad Dragon is the official supplier of such goods for this channel.
Mentions are fairly common, especially on BigCliveLive broadcasts. Make sure you're subscribed to that channel as well.
Interesting video I restore watches and sometimes have to repaint the dials, buy far the best lume is strontium aluminate, however its the purity you can actually make this stuff your self in a microwave but its very difficult to get in pure form. I believe Seiko invented this stuff and it became available in the late 90's.
That's what I use to relume certain dials.
have you already eaten some to make glow in the dark poop?
Would that not kill him?
Nobody like me .
only slightly!
@@Alexander_l322 It's completely non-toxic but it is a high abrasive. By all reason, should be about as bad as eating sand? Mohs hardness around 7.5, Quarts is 7, so a good bit more abrasive than sand, but not too much more abrasive.
I think he would find digestive tract lacerations bothersome if he ate it regularly, but he'd live to tell us that we shouldn't do it.
He already has a video where he tried to make glitter poo.
@@SianaGearz that's nice to hear but I wouldn't expect the power to be non toxic in all forms as its probably got some carcinogen or some shit in it that's not in the ingredients.
Great video. I like glow in the dark stuff. I bought 5 Tritium key rings and they said they had a 10 year life, that was 22 years ago and they are still glowing. I also have some really good glow in the dark 3d printer PLA filament. I printed some astological stuff and stuck it on the ceiling in the bedroom 3 years ago and they are still glowing like mad ALL night long, and from very little charging.
Ten year half-life. Thus halves brightness every ten years. So at 20. Half half. Or quarter brightness
*@Alan Lifeson* What do you think *half* life means?
@@ann_onn When I bought them the listing said ten year life NOT ten year half life.
Take a very small pin drill, drill out the eyes on your coin of choice, and then fill the holes with red and epoxy?
Silly twisted boy.
@@FarleyHillBilly Thanks! I try.
Green would glow much better
Pour some in your local water authority reservoir for instant "Peckham Spring Water" ha ha :-D
Clive thank you so much for this video I’ve been wondering which powder is best, please do test which powder stays lit up the longest time, like the type they mix into emergency stripes for fire staircase so ppl see the stairs in the dark
The silver doped one makes a good alpha scintillating coating. Spray a piece of clear plastic with a very thin layer of glue and use static to apply the powder. It glows visibly with a smoke detector source. ❤
That's intriguing. Definitely silver as opposed to europium?
We need more of these glue in the dark projects ;)
"youtube wouldn't like that"
BUT WE WOULD!
Put the bad dragon video on you're website Clive 😂
Or open a new "NaughtyClive" channel on another platform.
He probably has to pay for bandwidth. Placing videos on his site would be a good way to get an outrageous hosting bill.
I'd love for Clive to put some of the non ad friendly videos on P-Hub, like the bad dragon idea.
"The factory that makes these packages must look great at night!"....
By FACTORY, is a Chinese family in a grass hut on their dinner table filling bags from buckets which are probably in the trash from a factory marked "REJECTED".
Actually you should always try to paint a thin layer because the light is effectively absorbed and emitted by the outer layers of the powder (the power inside is just a filler). In thin layers the quenching will also be reduced. Use a little alcohol (or isopropyl alcohol) to make the epoxy a little thinner and easier to use.
Greetings and happy pride month from a new fan happy to find your videos! Really keen to try some of those! Recently I was looking to buy a resin and glow in the dark powders to decorate glassware with. I'm not too sure what epoxy or resin mix to use that would stick to glass and be ok with being hand washed and slight exposure to dishwashing chemicals and rubbing alcohol.
You may have to experiment with resins.
Bruh, this video was released in February.
How many months must we dedicate to people liking things up their butt?
Soothing voice.
A platform for your more risqué videos could be LBRY.tv / LBRY.social. They also allow you to set up synchronisation of your entire TH-cam video collection as a backup, which can be handy should you suddenly get strikes on your channel. It integrates with the LBRY cryptocurrency with the concepts of micro-payments either priced by you or via tips. It is still in its infancy, so it isn't on par with TH-cam in terms of features - particularly with commenting and performance due to its decentralised architecture.
It's gaining momentum quickly though and it could certainly rival YT in time !
Hey Clive, Thanks for making the video it is great.
Is the Strontium aluminate safe?
For example: If a person purchased a large quantity and mixed it with varnish then coated a table with it.
Would it be safe or could there be bleedthru if a person put food on the bare table?
Does the factory that makes these actually need lights any more? LOL J/K.
Clive I have some pigment that's from technoglow, this stuff is so strong once charged it will light up an entire room for a while has a good charge life too of a few hours
Did I hear Bad Dragon owo
I've heard that some gun channels started uploading to pornhub because of youtube's high restrictions. Maybe something to consider.
I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of certain channel types started to use pornhub or something similar as a new platform there's only so much fuckery TH-cam can get away with before people start looking elsewhere
You probably mean InrangeTV and it did this mostly as a joke and a statement. They uploaded videos on different video hosting sites to try and get people away from youtube. At least i didn't hear about any other gun channels doing this.
@@peterthepeter7523 I've definetly seen Gun Jesus next to a 2B cosplayer at a shooting range
Hey Clive! A tip to mix a small quantity of epoxy: put some duct tape on your desk, 2 strip wide slightly overlaping. Then put the epoxy on it, and now you have a nice flat place to mix your epoxy. Once done, rip it off and trash, or leave the tape there for a while, so you can monitor the curing!
That's a good idea. I sometimes use a small component bag, but it tends to move about during mixing.
@@bigclivedotcom I often have to do some small batches and that is the trick I found to work for me. You can take a popsicle stick and cut the round edge for a flat ended mixing stick, work also great!
Another platform: LBRY.TV ;) you can also auto-import your youtube videos onto it
I don't know why, but when I watch these videos, I get the feeling that they are filmed in a garden shed at 2-3am.
Powder.... from China...
Well, you can be sure that they're 100% safe.
idk, there some pretty nice chinese powders out there.
Ireland has Uranium deposits, decay products are Radon and Polonium, with a half life of 3.8 and 138 days respectively.
Plutonium-244, has a half-life of 80.8 million years.
A walk around the beach near Sellafield may be rewarding.
Just call it 'body painting' and TH-cam runs a mile bad dragon or not
Wow that’s amazing glow in the dark powder up 💯
"tappy tap ta~p"
I bought small screw top glass vials to store the powder in. They are cheap and don't leak like those bags.
What is it wih you and the bad dragon stuff? Are you hiding something? 🤔
"I'm sure they have them in Birmingham too."
I recently heard that Phillip Schofield was gray. I must admit, I always had my suspicions.
I don't think he's hiding anything, he did shove that electrode up his butt once XD
He's Scottish. Varka is Scottish. HmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....
There is an air-curing rubberized product named Sugru. Available in several primary colors and black,it is a fun product to use to make 3-D objects. Cure time is about 30 minutes and cleans up quickly off the fingers.
You are correct the Glasgow subway is just bad... Always humid (yet inexplicably rarely warm despite this), with wet floors, and so low too that I've not been able to stand up in one since I was a kid.
That new glow powder seems like it would be cool to mix in with a clear epoxy and make one of those acrylic or glass awards. Might use that pigment powder to repaint some old watches I have where the hands have stopped glowing.
I like those handicrafts videos with bigclive :-)
Next time we do a macrame owl ;-)
I was hoping for macrame Homestar Runner.
Need a bigclive and crafsman tie-in episode!
I would definitely test every powder bag for radioactivity ... you never know.
The violet laser and glow in the dark combo is quite something. You could achieve some amazing effects with a vector laser projector and a wall of the stuff. Like a slow motion CRT.
With a bit of work you could make alternate red, green and blue pixels to scan colour images.
@@bigclivedotcom I wonder if you could mix all three together and stimulate them independently with different wavelengths? Then resolution would only be limited by what your laser galvos could do.

It's not toxic... it's not terribly toxic... okay, it's not radioactive.
I was laughing a bit too hard there :D
For small amounts of epoxy , I mix it on a piece of the glossy card it comes on. And gently heating it helps it flow.
I have one of the Strontium vials from the dive shop on my keychain. It's amazing. Much better than my tritium watch.
Y'know having seen this video and some of the other stuff with that phone, it's absolutely worth every penny. If I upgrade in the next couple of year I'm getting one.
I made something like this a few years ago as find-in-the-dark keyrings. I used clear plastic tube and sealed the ends with hot glue. The best glow in the dark powder came from Kilabitzzz Ltd. Green is definitely the brightest and they sell a large granule powder which is brighter and glows for longer. See their website for lots of glow-in-the-dark information. They also sell on ebay and Amazon.
Hope to use them for my Resin jewelry someday in the future
