  • Is it waterproof?

  • can you cut it??????

  • @xXjoubalXx Yes, you can!

    El wire is akin to a capacitor, is to wires wound close together, but insulated from each other.

    Just it's surrounded by an EL compound...

    You then power this cap with relatively high voltage AC, but low amps, and as long as you keep your two wires from shorting, you're good!

    If they short, you've got fried wire!

    Yay burn!

    watch?v=cV2HS7_Mg6o

    This video explain how you can make some!

    More, on the PSU, and the phosphorescent compound, in her other videos!

  • in the description it says 3 meters. you said 6 foot. 1M= ~3foot. but but according to the description, and the video, 3M does not equal to 6feet.
