Just got my photon blade in-it's super weird and cool.

So I got my photon blade in and realized I ordered it a few inches longer than I meant to, but I like the balance anyway.

I tried it in my purple lightsaber hilt, and without the diffusion wrap it had this weird effect where the tube would be bright green from a side-to-side view, but looking at it at an angle would turn it blazing red. Before I diffused it, it was like, colored green but casting red light. So, cool.

Then I put the film in and the core was red with the outside wall being green.

Testing it on a friend's blue saber tomorrow.

Still need to attach the blade tip permanently. Couldn't find any Weld-On at all the stores around me, seeing if the group I do saber stuff with has anything that'll work.

Methylene chloride and chloroform will both do the job if you have access to a chemical supply company.

Gorilla Glue works well in a pinch, but it doesn't fuse the tip on permanently.

Man, this sucks. I took my blade/tip to a friend who keeps sabers, and he was about to use his weld-on to glue the tip to the blade, but because of the heat wave that just came the weld-on had liquefied and pressurized. It spurted all over the blade and tip just when he opened the cap up, without any external pressure and without even being pointed downward at all. Now it's all a mess and looks terrible, though he's offered to replace it so I'm grateful to him for that, and for offering to weld it in the first place.
