<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=135114613-17072008>Thanks to everyone who
offered suggestions so quickly. I also found Keith's recipe for neon from
the Theatre Crafts How-To book (1989) and another approach in the 2007 USITT
tech expo book. I'm exploring the ELwire option--at $2.00/foot as
estimated in the tech expo book, it's hard to beat! I'll let you know how
things turn out~</SPAN></DIV>

brands of thin wire that glow like neon. I'ts not too expensive, but to get the
full thikness of neon you might have to have multiple lines of it. I've used it
a few times and like the look. Below is a link to Xenoline's website. Also a
picture of it on a sign I made. Good luck!!<BR><BR><A
