I believe that's part of his signature...[?]

I've seen colored PolyC used with EL... It was a prototype from Parks Sabers. I can't find the link, but I think it was decent it looked almost like a bad photoshop. With the blade off it at least had that bit of color.

I've always wanted to try this but finding colored acrylic in the right sizes is a pain. I can't even find colored PolyC...

I have used neon colored acrylic tubing and uv leds in the hilt, it makes a nice looking blade. The blade tends to have a glowing look and the color has a see through quality. The neon green gives a very nice look and the blue looks good also, I am undecided about the red that I have, un light it looks good but when lit with uv leds then it appers to be somewhere between pink and purple. There is supposed to be a red orange neon color but it is not in stock. If you want the source for the colored acrylic email me as I respect Tim too much to list another seller on his site.

Dont forget the main reason we dont use acrylic is it will break way too easy. If you dont care if the blade wil break easy then there are allot nice looking ways to make a saber like plasma.

The colored arcylic blade will not hold up to dueling but you can always remove it and insert a poly blade for dueling. I have been using Tim's el blade holder for this set up and it works well. Another nice item is to change the blade color you just insert a different color blade.

Alright I thought I'd dig this up again for those that might be interested. I found the thread on ASAP where I saw colored PolyC and EL.

That's a prototype made by parksabers many moons ago. Keep in mind he uses EL sheet too.
