Here is that Doodle from yesterday lit.

Its hard to describe the zing that adding blacklight to the light mix adds, but the 10mm blacklight really shines. Usually the whites overpower everything, but when you can mix an match the tube sizes, then the brightness changes.

I do like the balance. Maybe a little more red next time. I also wanna change the sequence for three white an blacks as well.

It looks odd... but amazingly, you can get the mercury that close to the oven and it be 800 degrees overnight. I try an keep it close, to minimize the weight of the trap. If its too long an unweildy, it can crack before you get the mercury in or tip it off (and destroy the piece- mercury waste). Using a torch, You tip off after the bubble (after filling), then roll it on in and then tip off the mercury trap tail.

Okay, now I wanna play with more size mismatches and fun color mixes :)
