Swirly

For me, this is all just an experiment and I'm learning as I go. So far, I miss the LED installation - fiber is very challenging to deal with under a fretboard. I wish I could find right angle light pipes that were small enough to fit under the fretboard. All of the light pipes that I have seen are designed for much larger applications. Any ideas on this?

Maybe this is a stupid question but have you tried small mirrors, set at 45 degree angles, as a right angle reflector for your fiber? I know, finding mirror material that small is a shot in the dark but mirrors will do right angles for ya

Thanks AMD, I'll experiment some more with much smaller amounts. I am concerned though that if you use too little that "skinning" become an issue, meaning not a whole lot of time to get your pattern setup and then doing the dip. Thanks for your input

Does anyone have suggestions for determining exactly how much paint I would want to add to the water? A formula for coverage perhaps?

I did my 1st tests on some scrap yesterday and it was very clear to me I used way too much paint... can you say I got the runs, lol

I'm sure there is a certain amount that is the "just right amount" but I'm not really sure how to go about determining that.

Hey guys, I'm new to swirling too. Actually I'm still toying with paint mixes and colors. Is it ok to ask other questions in this thread or should I start another for my particular questions? Not really sure how strict this site is with sticking to the topic in a thread.
