SneakerGrinch Unfortunately, it's not about any upgrades that David could do. It all comes down to the workers, who have no idea how to treat EL panels and glue. I am certain that when these are made, they are slapping glue on the soles and spilling it onto the area where the EL is (not knowing that this will destroy the EL panel backing). Since these workers probably are not used to electronics in shoes, they don't know that this kills the EL. The other issue we have had is the weak part of the EL in the middle that breaks. Every show that I saw had the EL shoved into the sole and was bent, which broke that part of the EL. This again could be easily avoided if the workers knew what they were doing. All they need to do is be careful installing the panel and not bend it.
