My first Lume try. i'm not satisfied, i thought thick lume would be good, but at day light it is greenish pale. need to try white layer first then thin lume layer. the best lume i've ever seen is my Orient 300meters. any recipe for lume that looks sharp at daytime?

Thank you! I’m in high jewellery around 30 years, but corona19 closed all jewellery shops :o so finally have a little more time spend on hobby. It’s really my first try. It looks pale for me on day light. I’m guessing should be white layer first then thin lume. Or leave polished Besel around each index. May be it will help. Also I like lume on blue hands, it’s yellowish white. Much more bright. Any one have recipe if it is not professional mystery ofcouse :)

A white background definitely helps with changing the color of the lume. What lume and binder are you using [mention]wwwEvgeny[/mention] ?
