    Okay, I need help with finding these stuff. Please remember, I am from UK, so all stores needs to be UK based.

    1) BIC Gel Intensity pens - I can't find it anywhere in UK shops and the BIC website only sells it as Trade, where you have to buy over 250 pens!

    Why you may ask. Well, I would like to do this - clickly click

    Unless... you know of any other pens that can do this? I am looking for Orange and Green pens.

    2) Window kit - 25x25cm or so. I know I can just pop in B&Q and get a large sheet, but I do not have any tool to cut it properly, I rather have a kit with the rubber tube. Does anyone know where I can get one for this size?

    The cheapest I found for 28x28cm with the rubber tube is £11.99 but it's out of stock and they don't know when they are getting more of them.

    Thanks guys & gals. :)

    Cool, I didn't know Poundland sell them. :)

    Do you know the name of the pens on the label so I can find it easily?

    Many thanks.

    Those are gel pens. Not exactly the same thing, but they'll work pretty well... They just take a little while to dry... Mostly any good fine point highlighter is UV reactive, I have a pack with 5 colors, and they are liquid pigment that work really well, they say zebra on them (but I don't know if they have them in the UK)

    Advent Plastics are fairly good for Perspex. They'll cut you a piece to whatever size you like and have various tint colours available in 3mm thick. They do other thicknesses too and are quite reasonably priced, just send them an email saying what you want.

    Thanks for the welcome. I was a regular in TheOverclockingStore forum until they shut down. :(

    I popped in my local Poundland store after work today and found two different type. So I got both of them anyway so I can compare which one is better.

    Wrote both set on a piece of paper and shined my UV light toward it.

    Some of them are great, but the best one is the package called "Rubber Grip Neon Gel Pens" (pink/purple package) as it glows even more than the "Neon Gel Pens" (blue and red package)

    I'll post the result of my case mod later on. :)
