Dave: Was that your project?

Folks:

I just did a little experiment to try to see what would happen
if I were to sand-blash clear PVC to make it frosted.

The results are not very good.

It took quite a bit more silicon carbide to get the same frostiness
on a piece of clear PVC shower curtain than it does for glass.

I only have a micro-blaster for use in doing sandblasting of glass
for jewelry.

If you want to try sand blasting clear PVC tubing, ADX has a larger
sand blasting system than I do.

I think that LED ring was PEX, not PVC.

      There was someone at Dorkbot a while ago who had a ring of strip
      multicolor LED's in a diffused white plastic tubing. I thought
      it looked pretty good.

      I would try going to Home Depot and look at their PVC tubing
      and see if there is any thing there. I know there is clear
      PVC tubing and black pvc tubing; perhaps there could be
      frosted clear.

      All else fails, get some semi clear (frosted) shower curtains
      and cut into strips and wrap them around the strips of LED's.
