hi mate , GREAT to hear from you !!
well , they sell it in glass jars here
but, sending powder in a plastic bag by post to amsterdam ?? ..... i'm not sure .....

cheers !

Hoi vriend,
Great to hear from you too,
I saw your fins on the Dutch Swaymeet from Asymetrical Dave!
They look great!!!
I think it’s better to score some of this magic powder localy.
My friend, whose sister lives in Perth, surely doesn’t want to explain what that glowy powder is to customs.
But this is a good think to cook a bit in my head.
A nice impression from the Swaymeet:

Greetings to all Wozzies!!!
Sjoerd Rasta
what does "houkoers" mean ?
where's the shots of sjoerd surfing ?
were they black and white digital , or film , photos ?
can i send you a fin panel [glow in the dark] , for YOU to cut out and foil ?
that may avoid the 'powder in postpak' issue ?
do i ask a lot of questions ?
why do you think that ?
is sjoerd really a [/your] name ?
anything else ?
cheers mate ?
ben ?
....questions ? WHAT questions ?
“houkoers” means “keep on course”.
That day I was out there alone?!!! See me look happy.

That’s the latest of me surfing summerwaves, hip high, superturtle in orbit.
These are real photo’s on a b&w camera!
You turn the film with a handle, it has a square housing.
No thanks for the fin panel, I have no place to sand that.
But I would like to make a fin exchange.
What’s your addy?
I put my mind on a glowing board for the evening sessions in winter with the light of the lighthouse.
There must be some powder online to be found close to me.
I love these questions,
they must come from a thinking mind!
Do I have the answers that you are surching for???
Yes, that’s what my parents call me,
translated “the invincible”.
Yes, I did switch off spell check,
Because now youre under my spell!
And sorry, I don’t think.
Where is the nearest phonebooth?
I feel that urge to fly!

good stuff
you can become the dutchie version of fatbaslardarse , perhaps [minus the fat arse , eh ? ...just his humour , instead]
"

plan b ...
send me a template of the fin[s] you like [side fins] , and next time i make up a panel , I could cut em out , foil em and sand em for you [note west oz spelling of 'them']
i'll "p.m." you my addy , as it's probably not worthwhile having whoever else [if anyone?] who reads these threads drop around and attempt to seppo-ise me [joking ...sorta!]
cheers

Chip, those fins are about the coolest ever. I been wanting to experiment with this stuff and was wondering what the mix ratio would be.Thanks for posting!
[/quote]
thanks mr. T !!
well, so far , i've tried 1 % and 5% and 10 % mixes . obviously , with the small amount of powder available , it goes further with the 1% mix , but of course doesn't glow NEARLY as well as the 10% mix does .
i'd definately like to be able to buy at least 500grammes of the stuff , cos then i could lay up WAAAAY more panels , and bigger fin sizes [KEELS, for instance !] .
Plus , it would work out much cheaper , in the long run , buying larger quantities.
i want to make a set of keels , a set of cutaway keels , more 'wildy' templates , and , perhaps , a SINGLE fin or two , from the glo powder
cheers
ben
That’s great Ben,
A set of my favourite fins is on it’s way to you soon.
I have to ponder a bit about a nice flexing template that has enough surface for my size.
It will be a challenge to design the flex with just shape, not with the interiors of the fin.
Can you print? I could make a PDF.
That squeeking noise is my brain!
Tomorrow storm again, so SURF!
Proost vriend
(Cheers mate in Dutch)
Souly
unfortunately i can't print [borrowed computer drawback]
but if you send it snail mail , i'll see what i can do mate
are you mainly riding quads ?
it IS a challenge doing flexy fibreglass fins , for sure ! [my fins nowadays are certainly a LOT thinner [and smaller] than the three or so years ago ones i sent to surferdave / fave dimmers ....THAT'S why i feel like i need to send him some more recent ones ....
cheers for your interest
