I have developed a mixture of 22% phosphorescent pigment to gel medium, with the addition of water to add fluidity, and nylon fibers to add strength to the final material. The reflective quality of the nylon fibers may contribute to enhanced luminosity in the final sheet material. The mixture is extruded from a contraption I built, at a width of 9" and a thickness of three layers of duct tape.
From initial tests, this thickness will roughly produce 350 feet of material to work with. I recently cast the wax models of the lamp poles in bronze, and made a test model using a test batch of the final mixture to see the results. The P-170 'True Blue' phosphorescent pigment is truly amazing, and glows a beautiful neon blue.
The next step is to finish pulling the sheet material. I have processed roughly 3/5 of the total material successfully, and anticipate to finish soon. I will then determine the final shaping, sizing and arrangement of the strips and start cutting. The strips will be applied to the poles either with spray adhesive or clear packing tape. The goal is to ensure the reusability of the material, so it will become a gift that will keep on giving.
