I had the same problem as mAry. All the boxes buzzed. I have other EL Wire stuff and they do not buzz unless you use cheap batteries or the batteries are low. I had trouble with my order. They could not be reached and did not return my phone calls or e-mails.

One of the biggest pevs I had was the colors. I ordered Red, Violet, and Blue EL Wire. The Red was more like orange. The Violet and Blue had way too much white in it. On their web site they showed deep colors but their colors where not deep. I am a Burner and I know what EL Wire suppose to look like. They gave me cheap crap.

Other problems I had was the quality of the workmenship. All of ht EL Wire I bought were just thorn together. I had to be very careful not to break it.

Another problem is that the switch did not work. Each box had two function: straight and blink. On some fo the EL Wire I bought from them one of the functions would work. I am not going to use them again. For next Burn I will try using Cool Neon.

See, Mary, it's good to have a BACKUP plan. Whether it's lights or cake ;-)

Dammit, that's an awesome tip! That buzzing always drives me batty, but now I know how to dampen it *and* prevent dust damage.

Thanks a ton!!

The buzzing doesn't bother me too much, but I have a question (probably for Tim) about the hot glue fix.

Is it safe to use silicone caulking in the same way? On an el-wire project I did last year, I sealed the cut ends of the wire with silicone - just inserted the prepared end into the tube. I feel like silicone would be less vulnerable to the heat, as well as flexible. Is there any reason why it shouldn't be used in any electrical application?
