Wow that looks great.
What does the diffuse reflector do to the beam pattern?

Nice - great beam for working up close - and the trit looks really cool.
Nice, what oven?

OK, don't laugh! It is a finger nail oven.
I do so much work that requires a UV light source I bought this lamp that has 24 watts of UV LEDs, and a 12w UV, CCFL spiral bulb. It almost didn't survive delivery as the mail lady left it on the inside edge of the garage and I partially ran over it and cracked it some.
All in all it works well and I don't have to wait on the sun.
that looks great!
I wouldn't laugh I want one. How quick does it cure Norland if that's what you use. Link to where you got it please.OK, don't laugh! It is a finger nail oven.

I've gotten a few vials from this seller in the past.
Good stuff if you have a strong enough UV to cure.

That's quick, :thanks: I use the sun and it takes too long. And a great price too!

That's what I use to do. I have some screen protectors I want to install on phones using LOCA and did not want to set the phones in the sun and wanted a more controlled manner to do this and other mods, so the fingernail oven work great for me.
Does LOCA work for trit installations?
Dunno, yet. Great minds think alike.
I'll do some testing and see if it sets up as hard as norland and report back here. It could be a much cheaper alternative even though norland goes a long way if just installing trits.
Cool :thanks:
Well I finally got around to testing Norlan vs. Loca TP2500 for the possible use in tritium installs. While it may work the Loca stays tacky even after quite a few times under the UV light to cure.
When I removed the dots of Loca and norland from the CD I noticed the Norlan is harder and brittle, and the Loca is softer and can be rolled into a round tube with your fingers. I know that the Loca comes in TP1000 version which is suppose to be much harder to remove but can't say if it is the same rubbery consistency as the TP2500 after curing since I don't have any.
I have used the TP2500 to attach the screen protector to my Galaxy s8+ which is much nicer than the way the protectors come for a curved glass screen such as the s8+. Usually they apply a small adhesive strip around the perimeter of the screen protector and the middle is not as sensitive to touch and the protector in my case came off once before with only the side adhesive.
Here's some pictures.
