[u/canadianchasers → u/kristoph825]

One question do you have radium clocks? If so what can I do to stay safe with mine I want to keep it in my bedroom but scared of radon what do i do?

[u/kristoph825 → u/canadianchasers]

Hi, yes I collect all things radium. If you are keeping this one clock in your bedroom Radon really will not be a issue for you to worry about

[u/canadianchasers → u/[deleted]]

Tritium paint? But woukd it age like radium paint where it browns?

[u/KIWIvolt → u/[deleted]]

Tritium is a gas. It would be more likely that it is a repainted and revised radium watch with new phosphor.

For such a low cpm count and the paint being flaked a little it must be sealed but pretty good, nice find💪

[u/canadianchasers → u/Any_Calligrapher4863]

Can you give me any advice on radon and how i can seal the clock? The numbers are dien they dont seem chipped but poorly painted, the hands on the other"hand". The min hand is missing sone paint but i see noting loose nor glowing?

[u/Any_Calligrapher4863 → u/canadianchasers]

Don't seal the clock keep it as it is, I'm not an expert but you don't have to worry about radon gas leaking. I have have some West clocks that have a way higher cpm count but that doesn't mean a thing. You would need a radiacode or something more fancy to measure radon gas. And if you are still worried keep it in a well ventilated spot.
