Wow-What a great response I got. Lots of creative folks out there going the extra mile for the people they work with. I think providing a device that is unique to that patient goes a long way.
The overwhelming consensus is that the powdered pigments will work just fine; most people suggested trying a test batch before doing an actual device (always good advice). People have used glow in the dark powder, and black light reactive powders. I have done glow in the dark myself.
I ordered some mica pigment from Amazon. Ill be using the Protheflex Flexible Resin with their nylon stockinette. Ive done t-shirts and fabrics as well as our regular pigments with this system before and they turn out nice.
Ill report my results.
Thanks!
Todd
