After some luminous colour.

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

After some luminous colour.

I was in a pickle in the dark the other morning and spent ages looking for my old all black headtorch.
Can anyone recommend some cheap glow in the dark nail paint/varnish so I can touch/dot it up?
I'm assuming it exists and hoping it's not too exy if so?
Not after the fishing lure stuff- that is nice but far too exy for the little I want.
Also not after flouro bungee (unless someone can sell me a couple of metres of 3mm for a couple of bucks) just some nail stuff please and it has to glow in the dark.
Ta.

Search aliexpress for Luminous Gel Nail Polish - it's $3 delivered... as long as you're not in a hurry.

Oh yes, you can get those bedroom packs for kids, loads of stars etc for the ceiling.

You might end up redecorating while you’re at it :)

Does the Luminous Gel Nail Polish glow well?

Daiso often had fluoro adhesive tape roll of about 1m for $2.80 and wrap it around the torch or you can get them from ebay. Usually stays on if you get it on right the first time and the surface is good.
