They would even paint their faces with radium paint and go home to scare their family by looking thur windows into their houses. Nothing to fool with or should I say only a fool would fool with this stuff. Here is a link for you Radium Girls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. And another Martha Irvine, Suffering Endures for 'Radium Girls' who painted watches in the '20s. Scary stuff!! This is a true story!!!!

    I like the show Mythbusters. Were else can you see stuff get blowen up and get some education at the same time. Think that I kind of highjacked the thread so back with a new question. What would be better a glow in the dark body or a glow in the dark head. I know most of you have both that being said I am thinking maybe like a ultra-head minnow would be the best jig choice for the prefect glow in the dark jig. Would like you opinion as I have a number of mold and just starting out on my journey into the realm of Glow in the dark. I have ball head, ponyhead, and my custom for a lack of a better description modifidetappered ball heads. Or maybe the Question should be does it make any difference what style I use????

    Don't think style head matters at least in my opinion.

    As far a Mythbusters I know it come on one of the stations in the 250-300 on Directv, but don't remember which it is. Next time I see it listed I will let you know. I think it is around History channel or close to it. Forgot I have the App on my iPhone and it comes on Discovery Channel.

    Redman I am going to save you some time and send a couple in a couple weeks. I have to get through what I am on now, but next is a guy that included in his order some Glow Jigs so it's easier to make them all at one time.

    The worst part about mine is the cost of materials and then the fact if you not using it a lot the stuff will just thicken until solid if you don't watch it close.

    It is the Ultimate Glow Jig and I put a feather tail on, but can put some kind of stiff Glow Flashabou type stuff and it works too, but I just like the feather since I mostly use them day time anyway. However with the tail that glows then the whole ting glows.

    Skip my mind is now in overdrive. How to make a tail feather glow. Got to put some heavy duty thinking in on that. BTW Radiation is out. But who know what mens minds will come up with.
