Question regarding EL panels

Post by sigecore »

Can they take a fold? I would need to make the panel as flush as possible with a cutout on a prop, would I be able to fold the wire tab 90 degrees back and out of the way?

Thanks!

They can be folded but not too sharply. I have some tape that I folded so it would go around a square corner.

So they cannot be creased?

They have a crease in the ones I bent but I wouldn't try for a flat fold. (You can try but at your own risk)
