Yeah I definitely agree . I feel better about him every week . <| sep |> Skin stops the beta radiation not the tritium . Tritium absorbs through your skin on contact and then gives an internal dose . Tritium vials could be used to a very cool effect . I just want people to make a very informed decision when using something that can cause cancer . Even glow in the dark scales like the ones used in the knife in this post should be handled with extra caution . While not as dangerous as tritium , pretty much every thing that glows like that has phosphors . Contained in a handle like that there is zero danger . But I ' d be worried about inhaling the dust as you shaped it . p <| sep |> hmmm . you sound like another lunatic . JK I ' ll give it a go , thanks !
