Well, I woke up this morning this side of the dirt. At my age, that is totally awesome! Thanks for asking.
Being UV reactive would explain how they pick up that blue glow so well. UV reactive can be designed to glow in one of a choice of many colors. I've never seen UV reactive sleeving before. It looks much better than just shining a blue LED on them. You make my attempts at sleeving look pathetic.
Juan, your work is excellent. I can't understand why that rig didn't come out the way you wanted. I can't see how it could have been any better. Your rigs are not computers, they are a piece of art. I can assure you, I had nothing to do with the rigs I've seen. I couldn't even begin to tell you how to build a piece of art like them. To say I'm impressed, is an understatement.
As far as a tutorial, I say you are imminently qualified and should go for it. I don't think they will let you put videos on here because of bandwidth. But you could put them on You Tube and put them here that way. I would love to see every step you take in building one of those rigs. How you decide the tubing runs and how you do such a good job on the wiring, and everything in between. Congrats of some fine work.
Lady F, I found this interesting, but I was on a forum and read a post by the maker and inventor of Mayhems dyes. It was quite interesting. He said the only true UV reactive color is Pink. So, to make a dye UV reactive it had to have pink in it which makes it extremely difficult to make it come out the color you want. He went through some of the processes they use, most of which I didn't understand.
