@greekman3000 It's the real deal. I don't fake my demos.

Would coating it in something like a clear rubber tubing work? for example something like the clear hoses off a fish tank kit?

[jeriellsworth]

@BoyOfTheEnders That would be great. It doesn't take much.

OMG, wish my wife was a bit like you :) Thank you for your videos.

[jeriellsworth]

@EGO310573 I bet you could find some nerdy project she'd enjoy.

Can the EL Wire be dimmed via an audio input? Such as adding it to the speaker contacts of a toy robot speaker.

I would like to learn quantum physics from you, u make it fun.

@greekman3000 teh lil wire ish sticking up, her finger ish BEHIND it, thats why it looks like an added in thing :)

[sparkedsnipe]

@greekman3000 nah man, you can see the light radiate off onto her fingers, its not fake

[thewizardofrhythm]

Looks like Amanda Fox.

Spray on plasti-dip works wonders when coating the wire. Just don't put more than one coat on it or it will become hazy.
