Using either one of the two mentioned above could be devastating to the hands and the value of the watch. When using those chemicals, they can seep through the Tritium, darkening the hands.

I mix paint to where it closely matches the hands, (slightly lighter is better) then lightly apply. This application works very well for me and completely stabilizes the hands, not changing the color.
