Anybody want flat wire?

This appeared on the FiberglassRV forum and I thought I'd repost it here - flat self-adhesive wire:

I'm not really sure it would help that much (except to provide a much bigger target to hit with nails/brads when fitting panelling over it.....) but it might be just what someone wants.

Please note - 12v only.

Could be really useful for a retro fit of lights in a cabin or Galley area. You could just paint over it or put some very thing covering to hide it.

Just a thought.

Thanks, Andrew, that could really come in handy................especially as Kerry mentioned. :thumbsup:

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

Neat idea for some applications, but the price! $2.20 per foot for 12/2. Too expensive for me. That would have been $110 for just the wire in my teardrop.

Stained glass supply shops carry adhesive copper tape in various widths. I've used this as a conductor on several projects. Still have most of a roll hanging in the garage.

I have used a much smaller version of this while building a minature doll house for my sister many years ago. It has adhesive on one side and is so thin that it can be painted over and be invisible. I guess it depends on how much current it has to carry. If overloaded it would sure be a fire hazard.
