I am contemplating reluming the dials on a couple of my watches and some hands. my questions are
1. when i do the hands, do i need to take into consideration the weight of the lume on the hands in regards to the movement being able to move the hands without the watch losing time. ( I am worried that the weight of the lume on the hands will be to heavy for the movement.
2. I have read that the bonding agent could be any clear liquid (ie: clear nail polish or top coat). Is this true or do I need a specific bonding agent. (hope this makes sense.)
3. what kind of lume substance should I use. I assume that there are several kinds out there. Just dont know where to begin.
Any other words of advise will be greatly appreciated.
