Hey Guys,
Have a quick question. I think the ebay seller sent me the wrong color. I bought the aqua color one:
5"x6" El Panel Sheet Pad Back Light Display Backlight G | eBay
But they seemed to send me the darker blue one. Took this picture to show you.
This is the wrong color right? Supposed to be the aqua color right?
Seems like they sent me this color: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-x6-EL-Pan...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3f240ffc6e

The dc jacks? No you only need the pin end so you can plug it into the buckles.
Speaking of buckles my second set of Cloneprops buckles arrived and I am amazed at the difference between the polished and non polished finishes.. Seriously anyone ordering these get them white strong flexible polished, you will not be disappointed
Thanks. And what is the point in getting the polished version if you're just going to put some white primer filler over it? Does the polished version not have print lines?

I've ran numerous 3v setups including AA but as I stated before I can't get near 6-7hrs hence why I have given up but I look forward to knowing how long you get
You don't really see the print lines and also these are good enough to not paint imo, I won't be anyway

yeah, will let you know once i tried the battery combinations
im getting some 1.6v AAA nizn batteries.
never seen these ones before, but 2 of them should give 3.2v and the existing resistors of 15ohm should be enough.
these are 850mah rechargeable ones so maybe these can last a while.
will do a full test on the weekend anyway to see how long a standard aaa set can last.
i would love rechargeable lithium batteries, but just haven't the courage yet to put them in!

once ive got some thin 9v inverters, i can move onto the 9v setups.
but 3v with 2 x AAA isn't bad i don't think.
if i can get at least the same as a 9v standard battery then it should be ok as an alternative.
There's no way to add a charging setup directly to these, so thats the only problem, 9v is best for that.

To recharge my AA and AAA batteries for my 3v setups I used this http://bit.ly/XFXLz0 (4.2v output which is perfect) then just hooked it up using crocodile clips temporarily, that can be replaced easy though to accept dc connection.
Sorry I missed this post,

The answer is yes they have sent you the wrong panel by the looks of things, if you haven't already "contact seller" then link them the photo of the panel and question your purchase as if you paid for aqua then that's what should have arrived, im sure they will resend the right one I think to avoid negotive feedback so don't worry to much, sorry to hear that happened though.
If you can take a few more photos in natural light and artificial light and post here that would be great, what voltage inverter/battery are you using?

I'll be the first to admit, my very first toe mod was an epic failure, as were my strap mods. However, I didn't give up! I'm pleased to share with you all my bestest toe mod thus far!
Previously I was using a thicker bottle with interchangeable syringe tips. The tips were too small for the thick glue and I was struggling to get it out evenly without over spilling.
So I started again, and this time I found this really awesome applicator bottle from my local Hobby Lobby store. It's thinner plastic bottle allows me to squeeze alot easier with more precision. The tip isn't like a needle, just plastic with a small opening. Small enough to apply a very thin line of glue.
The glue itself I highly recommend! It's Shoe Dazzle E6000. The reason I recommend it is because if you make a mistake, and pour too much or too little, you can go back and carefully remove or add more glue as needed. The window to fix mistakes is small, but just enough to do it right.
I couldn't be happier with the results I got! Now I no longer have toe-mod anxiety.

you need some thin 9v or thin 3v inverters
theres none available in the UK, but you can get them from the USA.

hi
are you using that glue to glue the toearea back on?
or just for going around the edges after already glueing them down?
also, how thick is that glue?
ive got some shoe goo, but its too thick to pour into a container.
i don't know how you guys are managing to pour in that loctite shoe goo type glue into a bottle and then squeezing it out.
is that loctite shoe goo type glue the same as shoe goo?

yeah, fantastic job
ps, on your v2 upgrade video, you said you put some velcro behind the ankle buckle?
whereabouts is the best place behind the buckle to put some velcro on?
thanks

I bought this bottle:
2pcs 50ml Soldering Liquid Flux Bottle Syringe Funnel Needle Free Shipping | eBay
and it works great with this glue:
It is the perfect viscosity to go through the needle. Slow, yes, but perfectly controllable.
Yep, I don't regret getting my normal shoe size of 12 and *not* going one smaller. I tried on my first shoe after completing the toe slim and it fits perfect. Wouldn't want it any smaller.

Hi guys,
Before cutting into this expensive EL sheet, I wanted to get some opinions. How are you attaching and running the wires to the sole piece? Do you drill a hole in the smooth grey part just next to the EL sheet, or are you folding it back or something and running through the big triangular LED hole?
Also, should I use the existing soldered on leads or not?
BTW, I finished the other toe slim on my first pair. The sole came out a slightly different height, but I swear there was a difference in the behavior and shape of the fabric. That's ok, I'm happy with the look and know I did my best.

good question on the el sole cutout,
nobody has put any real pictures up of how they have done it, would love to know too.
on mine, i had to fold over the connection behind and through the already cut triangular holes and into the sole area.
I did have to cut out a slightly tiny piece of the grey sole where the connection was folding over, as it was sticking out a bit, so just cut off a little of the grey rubber so the connection could stay in there.
I basically ripped ou the entire pink cardboard, and all the wires are hanging there. (can anyone post some info on how they've organised the wiring inside the shoe?) its very messy from what ive noticed.
those soldered leds are incorrect, you can just get some new ones and solder your own.
