You can coat your own clear tubes any colour you want - note my avatar - a VFD tube I coated myself. See https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMNpcdECFYtISS43xbIwGuwIWiXuVHSBWBGRq7v The stuff to use is called FEV - French Enamel Varnish, or Glass Varnish. Two ways I found it works well - one is dipping and then hanging upside down to dry - best to use a tube base in a frame for this. The other is to spin the tube (in a base) to ensure an even coat whilst it dries. Glass must be ABSOLUTELY clean before dipping - I found methylated spirits and IPA both worked well. Only handle tube with gloves after cleaning. FEV is good stuff Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
