It pains me to have to say this, but if you put enough radium in your
oil that might actually work. ISTR Studebaker and someone else (Ford?) actually using a radium-based paint for the numbers on their gauge faces, and the gauges were backlit by bulbs with dark, dark purple filters. Was something of a selling point apparently, as I'm sure it looked cool as heck. Kind of difficult to restore after all the "juice" has gone out of the paint (and/or the numerals have all come off the glass and are falling down to the bottom of the instruments) however. I'm sure he was thinking of a fluorescent dye, however. nate Ken Pisichko wrote: > OK, smart ass - tell the world how you detect a radioactive isotope with a > black light?
