I think your toe will be safe by contacting Pugga....

Toes don't go for very much on the black market-I think I'd be getting a great deal for those lights. Anyone want a pinky toe? :nana:

Firstly, lovely looking timepiece 'stockae92' I would be scared of getting it scratched.

Secondly, love the idea of these tritium mods, can you buy it specifically for modding or do you buy those keyrings and dismantle them?

@Shaynster:
I'm curious about your cube. Was the cube molded around the vials, or were holes drilled and the vials inserted? If they were inserted, what method (adhesive, plugs, etc.) was used to keep them in place?
I think it looks very nice!

Inatube: it was made with casting resin you can buy it at most hobby shops or online. Polyester resin with hardener.

Dave W. It is one of the components in a fusion or H bomb(deuterium or heavy hydrogen being other) Adding fusion fuel to a fission bomb increases efficiency.

early bombs came with tritium and deuterium already installed as a booster

current weapons have a little tritium installed, but produce most of the tritium on-the-fly...
once the primary goes off the radiation from that
converts lithium into tritium (and other stuff) for the boost phase

there are many types of weapons design though

Maybe a little off topic, These pictures of Trits, Are these just simple pictures? or are you letting for very long exposers? I just recieved my first Trit in Ice blue 3mm x 24mm and I can hardly see it in a dark room. Its no where near as bright as the ones in these pictures......

usually long exposures, or assisted with blue filters or uv light source

a 3mmx24mm ice blue should stand out well with dark adapted eyes, if it is really dim it may be old

but wake up in middle of night and it should be quite noticeable across the room

Still working on the design. my first order of Tritium only had one of any given color so I could check them out. Hence Rainbow Ring.

This look amazing! How are you making the ring?

Thanks. The ring is 3D-printed black plastic. My understanding is its the same material as LEGOs. Been wearing it every day and no damage to the trits yet.
