Flashing glow in the dark jigs?

[Zombie]

Does anyone know how to rig a disposable camera to let camera flash to work after film is taken out. I took one apart and pieces fell out. Friend of mine had camera guy do it but that was a few years ago and the guy i talked to didn't know how to. I know you also have to be careful has a capacitator in there that can give shock also. Tried different things to flash with that havent lasted that long and cost alot of money, camera is inexpensive and recycling it.

Or you can go to a camera store...and buy an old camera flash for around $10. That is what I have, and it is AWESOME for glowing those jigs

Dont really have an answer either. Would seem like much less work to just buy a camera flash. They even sell them for ice fishing. I have found the one for around $20 to be a better unit than the JR one for around $12. Seems to have a brighter flash.

In my experience the flash does a better job of really supercharging the glow, but the little "zappers" are a little easier to use, if thst the right way to put it and you also dont have to worry about draining the batteries by leaving it turned on. More than once I have pulled out my flash to find it dead because I didnt turn it off before putting it away.

I have an ultraviolet flashlight that works great for me. I also have a couple of old camera flashes that work well too. I made a box out of aluminum foil and scotch tape that I put my jig in and then slide it over the end of the flash when lighting the jig. It keeps me from seeing spots all night.

i know how.... Its been awhile so bare with me....take the camera apart after using all the film,and take in the film (the sticker around the outside helps hold it together.) The cameras i always took apart had a bump below the film winder on the back cover which will need to be cut out after u take the camera apart. DONT TOUCH THE CIRCUT BOARD!!! it has a zap about like an electrical fence. the wheel under the bump on the back cover is what set the flash for me. i would wind it 2 clicks and push the button on top to set off the flash. you will need to wait 10 seconds, wind the wheel u exposed from cutting out the hole in the back cover, and flash again. pretty rough instructions so if u have any questions let me know, ive done it a dozen times.

I found a UV penlight at Ax Man in St. Paul, bought new batteries at the counter and the thing works wonders charging the glow jigs. My total investment was about $6.00 for two lights and a big package of batteries.
