too many colors



Well, the el wire looks promising, for some other Christmas projects I'm
working on, but it doesn't come in white!!!   What's this world coming to?
www.glowire.com has it.
Does anyone have an idea about using plastic gels or sleeves or something to
cancel one of these colors and end up with white?
