With soldering you want to twist the wires together and heat the bottom of the wires, then place your solder on the top and it will melt on the wire and if there is space, in between which will provide a more solid solder.

Either I did catch it in the video or it wasn't mentioned, but let's say I wanted to make various shapes from the EL panel. Some might need multiple panels connected together and some might need 1 cut in a smaller shape.. My question is what do we do with the exposed cuts? (that's the most thing holding me back). What I'm trying to make is a cosplay prop (a sword to be frank) and put on the blade the EL panel (or tape) in a way that when I press the hilt I will be able to get the sword to glow (as a display of special skill being used). My blades (yeah there is 2 swords) are almost 50cm long and 8cm wide (approx) and they have various shapes.

@cristianarevalo13 10 жыл бұрын
Fair warning to potential buyers. The so called "Red" EL wire they sell is actually orange. When you get the red EL wire and compare it to the online pictures, the Red EL wire you just got matches the picture of their Orange EL wire. They won't even try to make it right and just ask that you return it. They said "El wire can vary across production so the color is not always the same as it appears on the site". Which I understand but the difference is just too much for a project where you want to match colors.

I tried using EL wire around my guitar for a run of Christmas gigs. Unfortunately the inverter created tons of noise that was picked up by the guitar. Are your inverters better? It looked awesome but was unusable, i would like to try again.
@BeckyStern 10 жыл бұрын
It's not a function of "better"-- all inverters make noise. You can dampen it with hot glue or foam tape but never eliminate it completely. Maybe try putting the inverter in your pocket or on the neck of the guitar so it won't resonate so much?
@lisasei-leise287 6 жыл бұрын
The amp in an electric guitar may even pick up the electromagnetic signal from the el-wire. I guess they are basically long antennae emitting a (low powered) signal at the frequency of the inverter.
