Indiglos are bubbling up!

[Phi]

DAMN My indiglo gauge has developed an air bubble. It seems to get progressivly worse each day! I thought I did a good job taping, I guess not :???:
I know some of you guys had some issues with regards to peeling as well. Do you have any tips and tricks before I start hacking away?

Thanks guys and gals!

I just crazy glued the damn thing! Not the most sophisticated way and not the smartest (in case I need to change them later), but no bubbles here.

Did you use the 3M 2-sided tape initially? How hard was it to take it off when you had to fix it?

Yes, I did us 3M dbl sided tape. I haven't attempted to fix it yet. I'm expecting it to be a BITCH to peel off though.

I think I'm the undisputed champion of indiglo problems...I've retaped it about 5 times now...it's seems to be holding now. My indiglos are so screwed up but they work. Get this, right now I'm using a combination of thick carpet tape and thin carpet tape!!! I also cut the edges a bit too so that it doesn't bubble up...it's been good for about 3-4 months now.

Tip-Don't bend the wires at the top too much, they'll wear out and then you'll have to do an operation like me...with tweezers and a needle....

I didn't know you went to medical school Henry!

Well...I DID study pre-med in university.... :smile: Luckily, I didn't take the physiology courses where you have to kill live cats and rabbits, drain their blood and cut them up.... :sad:
