Has anyone tried cutting EL Panels? I can’t see why the GF wouldn’t be able to cut this. Curious if anyone has experience with doing this.
That’s a really dangerous idea (both to you and your GF) unless you know exactly what they are made from. Quoting the Adafruit site:
We do not suggest laser cutting it (the coating may be toxic), although a vinyl-cutter might work OK.

Thanks for the response. I’ve been using a cutter do it and was reluctant to use the GF on it.

Good instinct!

But you could always laser a template in acrylic, then cut along the edge with an Xacto or Olfa knife.

You could also keep it square, and cut out a mask to lay over it?
