[SML] Creating Fake Neon Sign

[Miller, Daniel]

For 'Rock of Ages' we carved grooves into foam and then hot glued neon rope light into the grooves. See attached pic.

Hi Greg,

   Would love to see a picture of it. We are still trying to decide how we want to move forward on this.

I love the LED neon products.  I still find it fairly expensive.  We came up with a fairly budget solution.  We had a sign CNC routed out of 3 - 4x8 sheets of 3/4” plywood.  We then inserted  red PEX tubing (3/4” IIRC) and 1/2” pneumatic tubing we had on the shelf.  We inserted plain (cheap) white LED tape in the 1/2” groove behind the milky white pneumatic tubing and hot glued the same tape to the back of the red PEX.  We made a circuit of white (outline) one for the words, and a third for a single letter in the sign that we could “blink” separately to make a flicker effect.  I’ll see if I can dig up a picture.
