Started carving away parts of the neon tubing this morning. Decided to add a shadow to the tubing to give it a little more depth. These tubes are so tiny and thin that I have a feeling this is going to be very tricky. One part of me is screaming don't do it while the other side is saying that it could make it look nicer (assuming everything works out).
This is a 9x12 and those tubes are only 3/32's on an inch thick. Trying to not carve the entire section of tubing away. Using very sharp tools so that it doesn't pull at the side not being removed and it still seems to shift as I cut through it. So far though, nothing has popped loose and I'm about to start with the "F".
