PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK
thank you!
Not sure if it's the same stuff, but it's cheaper than the Light Tape, so I may order it and give it a whirl. Thanks for the link!
it seems like all the toys and merchandise for TL are all geared towards Sam Flynn. I see no action figures, identity disks and yeah no baton for Quorra out there so far. That sucks, I at least wanted to get a Quorra baton so I wouldn't have to go thru making my own. Oh well, here I come again craft foam, cardboard and paint

Thanks for the post on the tape. I haven't used the glow paint yet. I was able to obtain some white acrilic paint at my local hobby store. Risk Reactor recomended using a white base paint as the first layer.This white paint can be used on al types of fabric. I ran out of time running errands today. I'm using stencil tape on my outfit to get the pattern for Clu's sentry's outfit. I was able to buy a small doll at the DISNEY store for reference. I hope I have time to test this. If this doesn't work I'm doing the EL wire with the paint & combine it with the 3M tape. By the way I was wondering how many layers of the glow paint did you use?
I've been reading this thread for awhile and here's what I've come up with for the lighting of my Tron costume. I have purchased 2.6mm blue EL wire and white 3M reflective tape (the type you see on a construction vest). I found it at a art supply store here in Hawaii. It's actually a vinyl material with a clear vinyl overlay that can be cut to different angles. The tape is 1 3/8" wide including the border. Since there are 2 layers, I was able to cut the line I needed and just inserted the wire in between the 2 vinyl layers. Depending on the angle that you look at it, you can or cannot see the wires inside the 2 layers. As you can see on the last pic, I will re-insert the EL wire so the the end will be up at the shoulder area so I can solder a connector and run that to the battery pack under the Identity Disc. I know it doesn't look that great in a lighted area but the effect is there when the lights are down Can you provide any more details of the 3M tape? Packaging? Etc.Aloha everyone
Try AMAZON.com They are less expensive. They have all the Tron colors except white & yellow. The yellow looks green when lit. Their:rolleyes EL wire all come with the battery pack. Sorry no batteries. They use AA batteries.
