WestADad did a faux neon sign a few years back using Electroluminescent Wire (EL Wire) and I've wanted to give that a try. My wife's dad owned a Mexican/Tiki restaurant called El Tiki in the 1960s and 70s. Here is an early pic of the restaurant, I like that neon sign on top The design has some weird edges, maybe that was to hide the supports or the electrical transformer inside? So I cleaned it up a bit while keeping the same general elements The plan is to cut the board, drill some holes, paint it, and run the EL Wire. Here is the lettering plan, will need about 11 feet of yellow EL Wire which I have ordered from Amazon I'll keep you posted on progress [ Edited by MadDogMike on 2022-11-17 22:53:43 ]
