Anyone do this yet? I'm struggling to figure out how to wire this up. IE: Where to start, where to run it and where to terminate. Pun intended.

Also, what type of double sided tape did you use? Scotch brand doesnt seem to stick very well to wireforms...
Thanks!

I spoke with someone who did this to a GnR and they said they started with double sided tape and then switched to clear caulk which blended in nicely and help the EL. Not sure if that will help you with T2 though.

Use small zip ties to secure to the wireforms.

I did it and secured it with double faced tape.
Have to check where I started/ended but you can see it here:

Oh. Yes does Scotch does not stick to the wire, the goal is to make a full circle and have it stick to itself

Thats an interesting approach. I'll try it. The double sided scotch tape doesnt work at all

Worked for me as you can see in the video.

Zip tie is a good solution but way too visibble for my taste.

Alright. Screw that lol. Way to much of a hassle to get the EL to 1) stick to the wire forms and 2) not sag and look messy. So I did it just on the left and then used the excess around the backbox
