Potential group buy

[Jmhoff10500]

I just came across an amazing source of some amazing materials. They sell Phosphorescent powder that when exposed to sunlight, can glow for 14 hours and would be amazing for casting or filling in cracks/ gaps... Colors available are green or blue. They also sell strange metals like cobalt nitrate and copper chloride. The phosphorescent powder is about 11 dollars an ounce and if we get 5 or more people we can get it down to about 7 or 8 dollars. I was just wondering if there was interest before I work out the logistics of the deal, Thanks!

You need to be very cautious with some of those materials. Check MSDS. I would not use the Cobalt Nitrate.

The material carries a number 2 health risk, and really is only good in making Inks, it's organ specific, attacking certain organs with prolonged wxposure, and is an irritant, skin, eyes. It's probably as much fun to play with as it would be drinking a small bottle of super glue, though not as toxic.
The Phosphorescent powder may be worth while depending on the particle size.

I would encase it in the center of a blank, and then contain it with a ca finish, my neighbor did it, and it turned out cool, i just hope i don't grow a tail by this weekend
