James Akers<p>I made a sample tube today after just one day of spinning the jars of solventy phosphor lacquer. Oh goody is this a nice mix!</p><p>The pink is really nice- the white I messed up by running air through it too soon- the air blows the goop around like that. I used a puffy ribbon burner flame to burn off the cellulose - the tube goes all black and then goes all white again over the course of about 6 minutes.</p><p>I wanna make a bunch and then rent a big long kiln... overnight- the smoke is stinky and not good to breathe.<br>I made two new colors though! I might add a little more red to the pink to boost it up a little and get a little more powder in there, but I am excited to coat a few colored glass tubes hopefully tomorrow.</p><p>These mixes are nice for sucking up a tube- but I want to pour it in straight- then bend it so the inside of the circle is pink and the outside is warm white.<br>Further tests are necessary!</p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/neon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neon</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/color" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>color</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/phosphor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phosphor</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/argonmercury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>argonmercury</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/light" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>light</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/newcolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newcolor</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/custom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>custom</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/glass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glass</span></a></p>
James Akers<p>Spent some monies before tariffs started rolling in and got some phosphors (from the Netherlands).</p><p>Now I am making some new colors- a warm white and a pink. Mundy Hepburn was right- when buying phosphors- just get RGB... oh an maybe violet.</p><p>Gotta mix these on the ball mill for the recommended two days and then do some test coats- I sure am excited! </p><p>realistically I might do a test tomorrow. It will be nice to see how it moves and coats a sample tube. <br> It sure is coating the jar well after about 20 minutes. That is a 254nm quartz lamp for the argon mercury. </p><p>The nitrocellulose coatings are so effective! The chemicals are kinda nasty- but they evaporate rapidly and don't make phosphor waste that cannot be put down the drain.</p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/color" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>color</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/phosphor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phosphor</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/pigment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pigment</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/light" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>light</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/neon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neon</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/paint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paint</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/lacquer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lacquer</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/nitrocellulose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nitrocellulose</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/shortwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shortwave</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a></p>

James Akers<p>I stayed late today to burn the binder out of all the hand pulled tubes I coated. Tomorrow I shall make a pretty doodle and (hopefully) see some fruits of my labour.</p><p>Fingers crossed for good shades of brown and pink light- a paradox I enjoy.</p><p>I have been noticing phosphor drips around the studio now. At first I was freaked out thinking they may release phosphor into the air- but they really just act like white paint. I cannot kick them up or scuff them.</p><p>Not sure if I should be laughing or terrified that my messes now glow pretty colors under a germicidal bulb?</p><p>Gosh- just look at that pink stripe! Some of my glassblower friends back their tubes with white glass. Sure that makes it look nice when its off... but I prefer the white backing to come from a glowing phosphor powder!</p><p>Sooo excited for tomorrow!</p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/artist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artist</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/neon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neon</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/customcolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>customcolor</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/phosphor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phosphor</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/nitrocellulose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nitrocellulose</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/lacquer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lacquer</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/uv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uv</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/brownlight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brownlight</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/pinklight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pinklight</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/fluorescent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fluorescent</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/lightart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lightart</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/glass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glass</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/glow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glow</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/wildchild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildchild</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/mess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mess</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/color" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>color</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a></p>
