worth a try , it would cost quite a bit to fill a dip tank with whatever Everbrite was using.
I have heard of some neon shops spraying tubes with aerosol translucent paint to achieve the look the beer sign manufactures get with dipping , to get the look of real Ruby Red or any of the classic colors. Have not tried this myself,,,yet.
I would stay clear of the electrodes , like you said.
