Restoring hand luminescence requires a steady mix and a clean edge. We pack this 5680-R-07 set with red luminous powder, liquid varnish, solvent thinner, a mixing bowl, and an applicator. You mix only the portion required for the pair of hands in front of you. The compound sets firm in the hand apertures.
Prepared powder mix
The dry red powder stays stable in its container until wetted with the liquid varnish. You control the consistency by adjusting the drops of thinner on the dish.
Application to hand apertures
The included applicator tool carries a controlled bead of compound beneath the skeletonized hand frame. Surface tension draws the red paste flush across the open slot.
Mixing bowl setup
We include a small mixing bowl to isolate the active compound from movement components on the bench. It cleans out with thinner before the mixture hardens fully.
Drying and bench storage
The mixed compound cures on the drying peg before the hands are set back on their arbors. Keep the containers capped tightly to keep the solvents from evaporating.

Oilers, cups and how much goes on
Why oilers come in graded sizes, what an oil cup with a lid is for, why the oil is picked up from the cup and not from the bottle, how a jewel takes a drop, and how oilers are cleaned between grades.
