Can I glue my EL Wire on to my moto helmet?

Post by ngengs »

EL wire newbie here! I bought a couple of EL wires, intending to sew one on to my motorcycle jacket, the other to be glued on to my helmet. Has anyone ever glued theirs on to something? Is this do-able and is it safe? Thanks in advance.

It won't hurt the EL wire. But you should check with the helmet manufacturer to see what adhesives are safe to use with their product. Some kinds of adhesives contain solvents that may weaken the plastics in the helmet shell.
