Fluorescent tubing for Starlights ?

Fluorescent tubing for Starlights ? Longshot but

I saw a guy he had some Green Fluorescent tubing for his Starlights whipped to the top of his rods
and even in the daylight it was a good visual indicator can anyone tell me where I can buy some and the size needed please ?

Take a look on eBay Gerry,there's some on there,just enter fluorescent silicone tubing in the search box,or try your local aero modelling shop

Yes thanks I had seen that one
but didnt think the sizes were big enough ? (2.3mm x 5.5mm O.D) think the starlights are 4.5mm

I just used some electrical heat shrink over my quivertip, wether it's big enough to cover over the eye yet small enough to shrink to the tip in an Avon style rod is different though. I do have some little starlite things on beach casters that might be worth looking at.

Its made of silicone, so will have a really good stretch factor, should easily fit over a 4.5mm starlight,

I went one step further and used the same colour whipping on it and in the daytime its a perfect site indicator too
