Hello everybody,
I just made a bit of ''mod'' to my display case from my Jurassic Park's Velociraptor Claw.
I installed LED tape inside the case,and it looks great,but since it's 26 years old prop made from light and fragile latex,I'm afraid that LED( although they produce a bit of heat) will damage or shrink latex and thus destroy prop after some time.
There is no air in case,and it can get a bit warm.
What is your opinion,will constant illumination damage and make prop shirked or make it fall apart once I touch it over time,or will it be OK?
PS
I put this in ''replica props'',because I thought it will better suit for this section,because many of you have foam props,and not everyone have original foam props.
Kind regards,
Petar
