....so if all else fails & modified model railway signals glass lens will not do, and your local Leadlight shop is too expensive.......


Red 24 & Green 3 coloured dyes from the following are soluble in thinners/benzene ....so you could always spray & make your own  %)

Permanent markers are Toluene based.....this will partially dissolve perspex and transfer the chosen color of red & green   %)


May be the most inexpensive method in obtaining small quantities
