Halfway bent.... Well, maybe a little less than half. The colors are the intense colors I am after though. I think I could use a little less powder in my phosphor coating, but they are nice.

I added mercury, tipped off the trap, and dipped it in blockout paint masking off the "N". It took me a little longer, one of these days I will learn that when the patterns are chunky and look like graffiti, they are tricky and will take longer. I did have fun making it.

Next time, I am gonna tell my tube pulling glassblower buddies to pull them thinner. I kept having to stretch certain colors so they would be thin enough to air cool (like the brown arrow up top).

Tomorrow I will come in when the paint is dry and turn on the 60ma aging transformer so it becomes uniformly bright.
