try the EL blade making tutorial vortex
you're not a n00b, i can't believe you're asking this...
38 inches would be just a tiny bit less than thatMaterial List - 40" Blade

Remember, you need to go by the ID of the diffuser, not the polycarb tube. If you don't use a diffuser, the blade will look like crap, you will see the wires and it won't be evenly lit.Originally Posted by vortextwist
I have converted many of my friend's Parks blades to EL wire in the past, once the EL film in the original blades get damaged.
And yeah, check the Tutorial.

I didn't realize there was one. I also asumed any other info was for tims blades exclusivly. but I shall look
edit: ok I found out what I needed to know. didn't know el blades where all 3/4 inch. See where my confusion lies?
BLUE 3- Ready
well, with a one inch el blade, el wire would be covered by itself and therefore not doing much good
