I thought I’d share my FHZ that I made. I always loved the look of the “Pu” Freehand that came out at a similar time to the MG freehands. I liked it so much that I thought I’d have a go at making one. Here is my Pu FHZ! ![IMG_20211122_190119](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/f/4/df456a9723acae9bc4681f79b9acc1e8b5aeab74.jpeg) It started life as a clear light up FHZ. Firstly, I removed the lights and added a recess to accept silicone. ![IMG_20210710_103929](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/b/a/3ba5f2380da075382159ecacf102fae1cabff181.jpeg) ![IMG_20210704_123719](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/2/f62ab5cc3c2a34b3850b25b1a4191eadd45469bd.jpeg) I then got to work on adding the Plutonium. This part turned out to be quite tricky as the nuclear power plants I got in touch with let me down which was a shame. I then had to find a alternative, so I settled on some glow in the dark powder that is commonly used in resins. Annoyingly, I didn’t take too many pictures of the installation process but I used PVA to paint the inside of the yoyo and sprinkled the powder over it, I did this a couple of times. ![IMG_20210715_232934](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/1/4/214d38eb33f2c707a8f7730f92e24f6e6e1877de.jpeg) I then painted the caps by hand to resemble the “Pu” freehand image. I left the freehand and Duncan logo without paint and used the same powder adding process on these so they would glow. ![IMG_20211122_193309_790](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/3/2/a320e817c6af99a44302a45918ecab0392e220c6.jpeg) That’s pretty much it. It added a touch of weight and vibe but nothing major and the response feels good too. Here are some more photos! ![IMG_20211122_193309_732](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/b/f/7bfa75c2bfe7f7b05d8877195f1d31f6543a5395.jpeg) ![IMG_20211122_193309_742](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/5/a/a5ab059ecc6cd8d5e8615aa7b8427dd591d5d56c.jpeg) ![IMG_20211122_190100](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/a/a/faa064e45c0b231503a0d26cc5d25ac545e6f456.jpeg) ![IMG_20211122_185413](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/b/c9baa256bb85ca589ad8cdeaba7bdc5b89c58980.jpeg) ![IMG_20211122_193309_681](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/4/5/c45f22d017411f90498a5cbdd7a6ebb4a81396cd.jpeg) Also, because I didn’t use REAL Plutonium, I didn’t get any hassle from the authorities and my hands didn’t melt off! ---

Thanks. It’s my first FHZ I’ve modded and I’d like to try a few other things in the future. I just need more clear FHZs! ---

I love this thing. Nice work. I was wondering about the glow in the dark powder myself to use on a counter weight. I might give it a go at some point now. I was thinking of using the clear duncan delta (a fav of mine). Painting and powdering the middle layers and hoping the glow absorbs and shines through the plastic. ---

Thanks for the like! Go for it! It was pretty straight forward to do. I used PVA glue on the inside and I found that it didn’t want to stick very well on the plastic but I used the powder anyway and gave it a good 24 hours to dry then I applied a second coat to fill in any gaps and it seemed to work fine. I’d love to see how you get on!
