Arches
« on: August 02, 2010, »
I have a quick ?, I am building my arches useing the sleave method and when I wrap the 100 mini's on the poly pipe it takes up 13 inches is this correct or am I wrapping to close none of the wires cross each other, also what do yall do with the excess wire at the plug end.

Some folks simply cut the plugs off the end and heat shrink off the ends. The plugs can be used for other projects. Of course this means you won't be able to chain strings together later if you want to reuse them for something else...

I just tuck them into the last wrap so they will be facing the back of the display.
