EL Wire Question
« on: January 15, 2008, 09:52:32 AM »
I get how to solder it, and hook it up, but what do you do with the other end? Cos all the tutorials only talk about soldering one end of the EL Wire. Surely if you dont connect both sides it wont light?

why dont you hook it up to a test circuit and try it if it is anything like neon then no you dont but why ask when you could just try and if it does need connecting at both ends you can easily just change it after you have tested if it doesn't work

you dont do any thing to the other end. jsut heat shrink it. or cover it in glue when you glue it in because left exposed it will degrade over time.
