Aging Hands

[danizzz]

Could you recommend me a method for aging hands and give it a vintage feel?

I am not a expert on luming and aging hands . But now there is people that bake then in the oven . And there is a nice lume at Rantff http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun.cgi?10&ranfft&b7&1usem&1456959601

Old age will also make them look old and vintage...look at my hands!....Oh, you were talking about the watch! :D

On a more serious note, I've also heard about that baking process but I don't have the details. In a way, it is just low and controlled heat...similar to what they do to paper. Maybe not all compounds used will accept this treatment the same, worth looking into that.

 

Cheers,

I've used this stuff quite a bit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WATCH-LUME-LUMINOUS-PASTE-KIT-GLOW-IN-THE-DARK-DIY-LUME-FOR-WATCH-HANDS-RELUME-/261105618925?var=&hash=item3ccb1b8fed:m:mVQwwXXvSNIX-8Gp1P9PgZA

It dries pretty quickly, but with the vintage patina kit you can mix your own colour.

There is also a vintage super luminova, which will be more expensive, And I don't know where to buy it either.
