Constructing screens from scratch proved to be a great introduction to the nature of the material and how it works. First impressions were that DIY EL is limited in its application compared to commercial produced screens, due to its fragile nature and apparent unpredictability.

A few more attempts showed that with some care and a little skill, more predictable outcomes could be achieved. DIY EL screen showing signs of delamination
