but… the above picture was taken using “Night Sight” on Android, which skews reality a bit… so the following picture more closely resembles how it looks to the naked eye… so basically it’s super dark compared to the tritium.
I have those from Nuclear Scientific and already offered them to him. He didn’t want to bother with the other colors cause there’s very little chance they’ll be bright enough to make it through the skin, and I agree. I’ve done extensive testing.
I’d say purposely heating up an implant is itself a flaw… controlling temperature to ensure it doesn’t overheat or cause burns would probably be impossible or extremely impractical. Also, I’m pretty sure the amount of heat required would be much higher than that which damaged or destroys tissue, so really not a good idea overall.
I wounder why, something to do with the viscosity of the moulding medium? I suppose with silicone its much easier to pull bubbles out where as with resins it would be easier to compress the resin and in turn squish (technical term).
I have seen vacuum pots used on resin but only in the raw state prior to the “pour”
I would avoid this because by definition it would “seal in” compressed air inside an implant… not something I’d want to ever see fail.
I do have experience with pulling a slight vacuum on things like elastomers and resins to pull out bubbles… but none of this will be necessary… I simply needed to ultrasound bath my mixed resin before applying. Mixing in the LIT powder introduced bubbles into the resin and placing the mix tube into an ultrasound bath for 60 seconds degasses the resin sufficiently. I have solid samples now.
This project needs to go into a project bin while I switch gears. The leap that is necessary to go from bench test to product is always bigger than expected… so while this project is set aside I will search for NFC nails with proper chip + LED and I will also begin to narrow in on which LED colors work best to charge this particular glow powder.
I have a question not related to this implant directly, but would you be willing to sell, or know anyone willing to sell 2 of the blue “vials”? (Not gonna call them implants for this purpose. )
I am not interested in implanting them, I would like to make a set of chopsticks with them. I figure if I source them from here, they would be sealed better than if I have to try to salvage them from a keychain from eBay. I would also be open to having 2 longer ones made, depending on the price.
