Thread: Different Blade Colors

  1. #1

    Default Different Blade Colors

    How do you make the blade color for the EL different colors? I am completely new at this and would love any tips/suggestions.

    Thanks,
    Phillip

    EL blades get the color from the wire used to make the blade.

    Define low budget. You can't find much cheaper than here and if you weren't banking on spending the amounts for Strydur's stuff you sure picked the wrong hobby to start on.[][]

    why are people asking a store if they know where to get stuff cheaper? if you want to find cheaper stuff, you should do research and try to find it yourself, but css has some of the best prices.

    Strydur's stuff is not "cheap". it is low cost. Cheap is crap stuff. the stuff here is some of the best if not the best you can find. his EL wire is .01 lower then the best i can find if you do not get like 150ft of it. and the poly can be found but good luck finding anything bigger the 1/16 walled. and if you get your goods from him you know it is not cheap crap, he does a hell of a job on his work, thats why i will be shop'n hear as long as he keeps selling. his blade holder for EL and led beat any crapy pvc holder any day. OH. and it does not sound to good to ask where to get stuff for less money on his own web site. kinda comes off as an @ss

    sorry, i wasn't trying to say that his products are cheap as in not good. the only problem i have with buying from here is the shipping, which tim has no control over. if i am making a big order, the shipping is great, but if i only order something small, it still costs about 15 bucks

    i know u know, just posted up for the guy who made the topic. ya shipping cost does suck. i was thinking about giving him my UPS act # to my work. for some reason if i send him 2lb crap it is less then him shipping 2lb stuff. but i think thats cause we may get a UPS discount for shipping out so much junk.

    If you want to order a couple of small items...here is what you can do if you live in the U.S.

    Create the order all the way to where it shows the paypal logo..
    Close your web browser..
    Send me a email stating you would like me to adjust the price to usps priority..
    I will change it to probably $4.25..
    Then you log back in and pay..
