Wasn't the material used for dial painting a mixture of Radium Chloride 
and Silver activated Zinc Sulphide? I suspect that the Radium may well 
have been soluble if this is true. I have no evidence for this, but you 
could try looking up the extensive studies done on the dial painters 
which may well describe the materials used.

With all best wishes to RADSAFERS for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New 
Year.
