Has this been done.A trit vial embedded in glow epoxy.Would the trit provide enough light to charge the epoxy?
 
No, the trit is not bright enough to charge the GID in epoxy. Part of the problem is that the GID+epoxy mix is not translucent.
 
Would using glow epoxy as a bonding agent work for tritium? Or would it makee no difference than clear? How about glow paint instead of white?
 
It'd make no difference in term of adhesion. Optically, it would obstruct the view of the trit.

The paint also dries opaque; it'd make no difference (except adhesion-wise - my guess is it wouldn't hold the vial as well as epoxy).

Personally, if you have trit, GID is a pointless add-on.
 
Trit vial are so small and glow materials are fleeting.I was hoping for a happy marriage of the two.
I work in a nite club and have lost several items over the years(cellphones,flashlights,knives)Lanyards are okay in some cases,but get in the way in others.Once an item hits the ground you have to be quick about finding it or its gone.Any ideas?
 
I bet B@rt's Balls will make it glow. :sssh: :eek: :whistle:

A glo-toob would be too big for certain items.I want to attach it(the glowing/tritium) to both sides of say a cellphone or knife or even my favorite pen.I just lost my Samsung Blackjack a couple of weeks ago and it got me thinking over the years how much stuff I,my co-workers and customers have lost.

That sphere may be the thing i need as long as it does not protrude out too much interferring with the grip of a knife,or not allowing a cell phone or pda to fit in it's holster.
 
That sphere is also like 50$ for the cheapest one and is made of glass...so I think if it dropped...not good.


Why not just tie it to you like on a wallet chain or what not? Or use one of those keyholder things that are spring-wound?
