A jigsaw with a fine tooth blade cuts it really well, just take your time and don’t rush it.

Your going to have to find some vintage bulbs to get this color hue. Today’s bulbs just aren’t manufactured the same way. One of the commercial grade LEDs MAY get you closer to what you are looking for.

LMAO-- I just threw a snowflake tonight as I cursed the world of cheap manufacturing. Lost 2 already...Which reminds me I need to do a PSA on anyone using the ropelight led versions to inspect those connections to the actual ropelight.
I opened up 3 of the connectors and they were literally charred and fused together. I know some members put them on their roofs... one of mine tonight was actually bubbling the moisture inside the tube! It appears that when they inserted the pins to the tube they were in on angles and tapped both lines. Dangerous stuff.
Are you referring to the ones from lowes by chance?

13 hours ago, Scott Rob said:The North Pole sign has a 40watt LED bulb. I have to put in brighter bulbs into my blow molds.This is due to the city last year changing my street light out from 150watt HPS to 1000watt eq. LED. So even at 11pm it’s like a giant spot light in my yard! I did not use a flash. It’s look brighter in person! All of my blow molds now have LED bulbs most are 60watt all C7 type get either 25W or 40W.
I would almost find that a little annoying thats so bright. But on the other hand, no need for any security lights.
what type of lights are they, lantern style or down light? I’d almost complain/ ask if the could put a deflector on it if that were my house.

They do have3/8 thick Coro and it works great especially for detail pieces.
If you do use wood, a great primer is glidden gripper. ( comes in white or can have it tinted dark) Now i personally hate glidden paints but this is probably the best primer ive ever used. Was actually recommend to me by the behr paint rep when i told him what i was wanting it for.

You could browse CL or FB and see what you could find. Or even ask to see if anyone has any they might want to part with on those sites, browse garage sales as well!

Oh the time it must have taken to cut all that pvc and make the edges all clean.
pretty cool tho! Home made elements are the best

I built mine strictly off just looking at a pic on the computer and then sketching it out on the wood. Drilling all those holes was really annoying. Couple coats of glidden gripper primer and semi gloss black to help last in the az sun. I have two of these, only use 1. It weights about 60lbs. 3 channels of faceted cool white c9 leds

Depending on what size pvc you used (preferably 1")
You can also slide either 3/4 or 1/2 into it to help stiffen it.

I personally prefer the retrofit just so i can make custom strands and obviously easily replaceable should one burn out. Have well over a thousand of the minleon brand ones.
