That is slick! I ended up getting some color changing ones with a brightness control. I did not want to dd the two extra wires, that is going to be a lot of soldering.
Cut and solder. The sections are a little over an inch per each cut zone. I think I can make that work by stuffing or stretching a bit, and creative overlapping of the strips without the rubber diffuser. I would rather have a brighter joint than a gap in the neon if possible. Neon is okay to have some little gaps though.
I think this is where it stands. I might do a few tests real quick but the store only had a color Liked in semi gloss so right in the middle.
