Can you cut EL Tape?

Post by kawaiilaosboy »

I bought the Aqua TL Tape from you guys and I am going to make a Tron Costume. Can you cut the EL Tape and solder wires to connect another part of the EL tape? I looked at the tape and I am not sure where to solder.

It is practically impossible to solder to the stuff. That is why it is generally sold in pre-terminated strips.
