Load Resistors for LED's

Yes it was liquid tape I found at ACE Hardware. The only colors they had was red, white and black. Lowes only had black. I used two coats and I was very impressed with the product. I don't think I'll have any problems with them coming apart, I took a piece of copper wire and laced each resistor to the one next to it, also it made it easier to solder. I'll start working on the PC cards next week, I think I've found a cool way to do those too.

That's what I thought.

I started out using it for my O gauge train layout wiring, and expanded it to include some of my outside decorations where space was tight, and using electrical tape/heat shrink was not practical.

I didn't know Ace caried a variety of colors. I'll pick up some red, as that works perfect for the red/black wiring for the layouts bus wiring.

Thanks!

Here is what it looks like when I'm done.

What ohm resistor and wattage are you using? Does different ohms give you different results?

47K, 1/2 watt will work fine. The resistance values are not critical. Essentially you want a load on the circuit.
