Arch, the last time I turned a piece with pieces sticking out, I
painted the ends with that typing correction fluid, called "Tipp-ex"
here in the UK. Under a bright light they shone through very clearly.
I did kill all other lights in the shop.

Perhaps this would help before you get into strobes!

ALL would be done!
