have a customer asking about Orange GiD. Does anybody have a source and/or any other pertinent info?

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

One stroke has some good phosphorescent, and phos-flo inks, but the orange is pretty red IIRC. 

Not sure if there are more reasonably priced ones though, I want to say a gallon was three or four hundred bucks, and this was more than a couple years ago.
Gotta put it down thick too...

Glonation has glow pigment powders, not sure if they are compatible with plastisol base or waterbase binder.

thanx to both!

I'll look into onestroke.

I have a source for pigment that is plastisol compatible. It looks very promising, but have not tried it yet.

anybody else?

Back in the early eighties I was making these color formulations for Herring N America but later found out they contained carcinogens. Just remembered they never paid me for that.

Isla "I Lick Everything" Elizabeth is doing great! Just had a follow up with the surgeon and he said she is doing better than any kid he's seen before! We were pretty happy to hear that!

How's the back?

There is also AuroraGlo which has the best plastisol GID I have ever seen but very $pendy. Around $300 a gallon
