I bought total 10 and more elastolite but I did not buy entire toolkit set (bought only Elastolites).
Everything is great as I expected like flexibility. I think this is well completed product. However, I found the connection using the power pads on the elastolite with the sticker is not good enough without CIRCUIT TAPE which is not included in this only elastolite item. The Circuite tape is in the elastolite kit.
I feel I should do with its entire toolkit set or the other item like wire clue. With just sticker, Iron and ordinary wire, definitely, it is not enough to hold the wire on the rubbery pads.
I hope this review helps you as additional information.
There ought to be a Red version of this
So now we are sewing 110 volts into our clothing. Brilliant. Just don't spill any drinks on yourself. Having said that, I can imagine a really good arc reactor made from this.
Well, they are waterproof. :D
Just make sure everything else is.
