So I was watching a Hampton video showing how to put foam around the leds. Everything is ready, I started getting the foam around the leds and it was a giant pain. I must have a thicker foam because it would not roll without fighting me.

Anyway I started getting the leds put down the tube and I admittedly got pissed and forced it at one point when it was only a qourtar of the way in. Now the string won't work at all. Resistor is still on, I checked the connections and they will not turn on :/
