This version has LEDs embedded on the sides in epoxy, and it had been working pretty great until a show last night. One section of the wheel I didn&#8217;t use ExpoCast 690. I had some trouble with the first section I did, and thought I&#8217;d try the other (cheaper) expo that I had. It also was just a difficult to work with, so I ended up using ExpoCast on everything else. But that one section that has the other expo developed cracks, which I&#8217;ve known about for a while. Unfortunately one crack caused movement in the LEDs and broke a connection, causing two sections on one side to not light up (since it sends the signal through sequentially). Doh\u2026I was disappointed as it affected one of my shows, but there wasn&#8217;t anything I could do about it.<\/p>\n<p>The repair doesn&#8217;t seem to be too bad! Using a chisel I could fairly easily knock out the bad pieces and expose the LEDs. I then cut out the two that seemed to be bad, and replaced them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2721.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2721-tm.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2721.JPG\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I then epoxied back over it with the good epoxy:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2722.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2722-tm.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2722.JPG\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The connection seems good (from testing), but the real test will be using the wheel again.
