I want to gel my cathodes to produce more accurate hue's in my lighting scheme. i wanted orange originally, but ended up with a pinky **** yellow hue which sucks... its bright. but ..
this just means that if i tint my cathode shells, it will be nice and bright. there are a few ways i can do it, to simply paint the cathode tube which is acrylic or to gel the lights themselves.
either way, i want the freedom, and these sunbeam cathodes being so cheap, I had to glue them into their housings with super glue so it didnt fall out and risk sending 600 volts running through my tower. the return wire is unsheilded... oh how safe.
so, is there any way to break the bond of super glue? like if i freeze it will it be easily breakable with a little bit of a zank or a twist?
I would like to paint some straws with model paint to adjust their hue and slip those over the tubes directly.
