Im using gorilla super glue, then loctite glue closer to the edges. Last i use the shoe goo for the finishing line of glue.

They look sensational Robert. Are you planning on opening a business on this? Your work is very good.
Last week I volunteered to do the scaleable pattern for the EL and LEDs based on a PDF pattern by another member. So here it is.
His original work at 100% in the PDF
I made a small change here by reversing the two humps as the original had the taller one at the front.
And my work in SU (so we can scale this to any size) and screen captured as a JPEG.
I have not shared this yet, but can if that is the wish of the forum. At the size it is now, this would probably be for a size US13. I can scale and post JPEGs of all sizes if I know what they need to be. Either way, let me know.
PS, I have just removed the lines between the EL.

Yeah they look like hard work especially getting the two even. Your electronics look good too. I need to make a start on mine.

100% agreement on the toe mod here. I was gonna do it to both my pairs first and then move on to the rest, but the toe mod is so long and tedious, that I'm going on to the next step. Probably gonna finish one pair completely and then do the other. Working on the lights is a lot more exciting.

Yes please
So you have Sketch Up? You should be able to find it under "EL and LED".
I didn't know I needed it...But I'll download it now.
EDIT: I just remembered I already do have it.

Has anyone put the plastic tip on the end of the straps? That's probably that last thing you could do to these shoes. This is the only picture I could find of it. It's the right shoe.

the toe mod is definitely the hardest
i already screwed up one shoe lol!
im going to basically use the base of that pair to make another custom scratch build now.
that fabric is just too stiff.
I like this photo!..
Here's some pictures of my toebox on a brand new pair i just started on.

Very interesting. Did you just massage the material to work it down flatter without undoing any glue? I was actually wondering a few days ago if that might be a feasible solution. Do you think the wrinkles might iron out?
I'm still convinced this is why the two shoes of my first toe mod pair came out slightly different. I "massaged" the material a lot more on the first one, because it took me a lot longer to work apart the glue. On the 2nd shoe it remained stiffer and held the rounded shape more.

but in that screw up, i managed to come across my custom "movie" style toebox solution.
Its not for everyone but its perfect for me and makes life so much easier and prevents any chance of a major screwup.

Hi
Basically I found the normal toe mod method very difficult to glue back down,
To me, the shoe looks better like this, its more closer to the movie version now, which I always preffered than the RD release.
