I recently mentioned a temperature sensitive nail varnish that could be used to detect hot components. This video is about that varnish and other ones that are useful for technical tasks. Here's a starter search on eBay for the colour changing gels. The most vivid red/yellow one will have a number like 5718. They sell them in multi-colour packs or as single colour bottles for a few dollars. You may find it useful to buy a small UV nail curing lamp too.

If you want to buy glow in the dark pigment then the keywords are Strontium Aluminate. Quite expensive for the proper stuff, but a little goes a long way.

Choose the green/yellow or green/blue colour for highest intensity.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

I don't think this will help yall over there much.
But a home remedy for red bugs was putting clear nail polish on the infected areas.
And I have used my daughter's neon green glow in the dark nail polish to paint my front sights on duty and carry handguns.
It makes the sight quick and easy to see.
She didn't like the polish and it doesn't take much to use on the sights so a bottle has lasted about 15 years.
omfg that finger… =)) looks like you drop some ketchup / mustard combination on it after eating a hot dog and didn't bother to clean it up xD
I use nail polish stuff for screws… like lockbond 🙂 works great, learned it from my dad
who knew these products were actually invented for men xD another great chinese product.
Husband uses the concrete one on his model railway layout a lot.
I don't know why I'm watching this, but I'm fascinated
Not sure how I learned something about cosmetics from your channel, but I'm getting uv curing nail polish immediately. I HATE waiting for it to dry. Thanks!
Oh I have to watch this. I have this stuff all over the house. Some even magnetized.
Be aware that many nail polishes are made from nitrocellulose, which is aggressively flammable, even when dry.
you need to shake the bottle.
Some great tips. Thank you.
I was going to ask if Clive could come and paint our shed. On reflection of seeing him paint his nail I think i'll see if Stevie Wonder is free instead 😅
Clive, the things you subject yourself to, all in the name of science.
Uranium glass has been used on valves for a long time to resist high temperatures.
I bought a bunch of fluorescing powders through Ebay from China and used them with clear nail varnish on some glass lamps. One fluoresces with an ordinary bulb for 45 seconds when the lamp is turned off. I found my first pink/green uranium glass last weekend it has a huge amount of pitchblende. Some of my 19th century uranium glass is also high in uranium oxides.
