Might work. I'd ash several, mix the ash with some epoxy or RTV and apply to the back of a tube. Coleman caved to the radiophobes several years ago and removed the thorium. The only one I know of that still contains Th is this one: http://www.neon-john.com/Nuke/century_mantle.jpg The "made in India" and the radioactive material warning are the clues. Last time I checked these were still available at Wallyworld.
