[pure-silver] Re: phosphorescent paint

True. But since that time newer, more powerful materials have been created 
based on europium etc... they are both more brilliant and longerlasting... 
however, I can pretty much say with some certanity that you would be better off 
buying the seals (stickers) as they have been professionally and thinly coated 
and results are, everything considered, superior to the paint it yourself 
versions; the newer material is more expensive; thin coatings are more 
economical for the same glow.

Not all of the seals are made with the newer material, but even so, the 
stickers are the way to go.
