[mention]hako[/mention] ...did you paint the back white before putting lume? Try that to see if it holds the creamy color better?

is it the dial where you practicing for the lume? looks very great Image
It is.
And it was pretty tough for me.
I worked with three different kind of binder with rather unsatisfactory results until I tried UV hardening glue.
Flows really nice, infinite potting time, does not shrink and is hardened within seconds.
Downside: something happens with the color of the lume. I used Holio‘s standard lume, but as you can see no vintage color... It becomes better when you put white color as a first layer.
So, I am a little undecided to leave it like it is or to redo the whole thing.
I see what you mean, maybe you try with white color under

I tried with a test hand. Putting white color underneath the lume does make the lume creamier as it should.
Funny enough I had no such experience with other binders than this UV hardening glue; and I tried a few... :angel:
