i think it looks awesome ... specially on the traces on the PCB ... makes them look "ALIVE"

i think it would be cool to get tattooed in that ink! walk into a blacklight room and all the sudden your tat lights up!

Going to try this with my new computer. i did a test run with an old PCB and my rooms blacklight. looks cool, but you kinda need a steady hand if your going to trace the lines. you can kinda tell which side i did after a few drinks and the side i did the following morning.... there is another key tip to put in the modders handbook.

I did hear that it takes it a while to dry from a few of the write-ups i've read about it so be kinda careful not to smudge it...

Prretty darn cool!!

Hey, since ya'll seem to like using UV inside your cases, is there any chance of the UV breaking down the insulation, confromal coatings and such? I seriously doubt the PCB manufactures use UV inhinbitors/blockers for something thats suposed to be inside a box indoors.

these light produce UV A? B? What wavelength?

Just food for thought.
