lucite, Maze3 top, and uv light

DigitalChaos · 04-10-2002, 06:41 AM

ok, stupid question, but is lucite good for handling UV light?

i have a blacklight and i am trying to figure out if it will kill the top of a Maze3

also wondering if the light would go through the lucite and damage the O-ring

While I REALLY have no experience or knowledge of this. If I were to venture a guess, I would say that it's fine to run the maze3 with a black light. DD is very sensitive to our needs, why would they use weak materials?

I just ordered a maze3 and I'm gonna use it w/ my BL. The glow through the lucite of the coolant should be PIMP!

thanks ECU- i guess that answers it.
i ordered 2 tops just incase.. wonder if they come with barbs too, wish they would let you pick what size barbs fit/come with the tops, so i could have a 3/8 and 1/2 tops.
i probably coulda just asked hey? =)

anyway i emailde DD and they said they didnt know if the black light would do anything to the Lucite.
