Depends on the nixie. I've seen ceramic, mica, and glass. Any would work, I imagine. I got a quote for tiny ceramic rings for this purpose, but it was too expensive for me. Perhaps glass seed beads would work (I've used these to make crackle neon tubing, and they worked fine). You'd have to make your support rods thin enough to fit through the beads, naturally. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
