I was messing around tonight and made this...
1. 1/4" copper pipe.
2. cut 6 slits into tube with a dremel
3. drill hole for split ring
4. cut tube off
5. use ice pick to slowly move around and pry out "legs" remaining to create more surface area for glow material. takes a couple rounds.
6. file off any rough edges
7. wrap fob with scotch tape to create a container. leave one end open
8. mix up glow powder and epoxy
9. fill fob up and let cure
10. remove tape
11. re-drill split ring hole to remove filled epoxy
12. sand/finish to desire

3rd pic is it hanging off a Maratac Cu AAA. I now have it on a small split ring with a TEC clip.

Here's my "Lanyard Fob" that's been riding on my keys... it's been staying fairly clean. I wasn't sure how well it woudl do with the keys.
