Review update
Update to my review with a pic of the red inserts in the front sights.
Sight Kit.
There is definitely a learning curve to using this kit. I read an article about this kit and the writer said to not mix it thick so it would flow into the dovetails. If you don't mix it thick enough it wont harden properly which is what happened to me. So I redid it and mixed it a little thicker and pressed it into the dovetails and be sure to put in extra because it does shrink a little. This time it hardened just right and the sight turned out great. The instructions say to wait about 30 mins but I gave it an hour just to be on the safe side. I did 4 handguns with the kit and there is plenty there to do a lot more guns.
Works as intended
So long as its mixed properly it works like a charm
Great product easy to use
Extremely easy to use and great results.
Front Sight Insert
Very easy to use with wide color choice, done properly this will never shoot out and very inexpensive per sight. You can also easily make white dot sights even from old dead night sights by removing the vile and filling in the holes. Fast, easy and much better then any paint.
Great product
Great product very easy to use. But I wish the acrylic came with a dropper as the directions use drops as the form of measurement.
A great moneymaker for us
We use this at our shop all the time. It's so simple you can't screw it up and it can be done while the customer waits. We found other colors of pigment at a craft store and now we do gold and sparkles in addition to what comes in the kit. Best of all, if they don't like the color, you can just pop out the insert and try again with a different color.
Disappointed in the colors.
I have used this same system for years and have had great success. It was originally manufactured by another company and the colors were very bright and could be blended to obtain different hues, et. I ran out of pigment and was getting low on some of the other materials in the kit, so I ordered a new one. It still works great, but the colors appear quite dull compared to the old pigments. An improvement in the pigments would be a no-brainer 5 stars.
