This is all I can find right now. There’s some CWs, begleri, trigleri (mini bolas, I didn’t know trigleri was a thing when I made those), astro jax.
I don’t know how good the begleri are, not really my thing. The Jax are the real deal though. The remaining String Gobblers are the shapes that didn’t have as good weight distribution, they’re ok but I won’t be going that direction next batch.

Playing 0A I really like the clear so you can see the string wrapped.
Orange is the only Proyo that glows so far, one of my greens has a cloudy half that glows faintly

For reference here’s 3D printed GITD and squishy white next to UV reactive polymer clay

For a portable blacklight I’d just go to the camping store. Used for spotting scorpions and such. I think I bought my bulb from the gift section of the tobacconist

All of the UV reactive ones are gone. :pleading_face:

So I guess I’m slightly confused by these pics. 2 of the pics look to be the same “set” of stuff but in one everything appears to be glowing while the other one only shows the eyes glowing. Hard to determine what I’m seeing.

EDIT: Maybe one is glowing under Blacklight and one is all lights off showing residual glow?

I’m hoping for 10-12g (flexible some on this) very UV reactive, and if it was “quick mountable” that would be a sweet bonus.

When you says the Goblins aren’t weight distributed well can you elaborate?

plastic cheatcode, shooting star, freehand one, iyoyo sunrises, shxx, shfx, iceberg, yyfr rio, myy k2 crystal, maybe the blue/yellow/green yyfr AOE, any white POM/delrin yoyo, metal skyva 2, cheatcode, and maybe glossy clear/silver yoyos?

blacklight you can probably find some bars on amazon

Pic 1 is under blacklight, pic 2 is without to show most of the pigments are purely UV reactive and won’t glow in the dark. I do like making GITD eyeballs though.

Some shapes don’t hold so well during the baking process and the two on the left have sagged a bit compared to the third.

Ok for 0A is what I meant. If you’re using them for 5A you’ll feel the drag.

I’ve been thinking about making some more comp 5A oriented CWs. Hi vis, faster play.
I’ll post some pics later on
