coming apart I am going to wrap a little
coming apart I am going to wrap a little bit of electrical tape around the joint
now some of you may be wondering why I
now some of you may be wondering why I didn’t add a switch in since I already
didn’t add a switch in since I already
didn’t add a switch in since I already had the cord splice well I am planning
had the cord splice well I am planning
had the cord splice well I am planning to add an on/off switch but it isn’t the
to add an on/off switch but it isn’t the
to add an on/off switch but it isn’t the type of switch that requires a cord to
type of switch that requires a cord to
type of switch that requires a cord to be cut like that so I had to cut it just
be cut like that so I had to cut it just
be cut like that so I had to cut it just to fit it through the edge of the jar
to fit it through the edge of the jar
to fit it through the edge of the jar but now I need to add the switch in a
but now I need to add the switch in a
but now I need to add the switch in a little bit farther up the cord so here’s
little bit farther up the cord so here’s
little bit farther up the cord so here’s how this type of switch works with our
how this type of switch works with our
how this type of switch works with our wires we’ll take our electric cord and
wires we’ll take our electric cord and
wires we’ll take our electric cord and split it down the middle a little bit we

and line up nicely without the wire ever touching let’s clip off just about
touching let’s clip off just about
touching let’s clip off just about eighth of an inch so that we now have a
eighth of an inch so that we now have a
eighth of an inch so that we now have a gap even if we lined it back up one side
gap even if we lined it back up one side
gap even if we lined it back up one side of our wire goes around to the side and
of our wire goes around to the side and
of our wire goes around to the side and the other side has a split in the middle

there you go I think we’ve got the wires
there you go I think we’ve got the wires in contact with the battery so now let’s
in contact with the battery so now let’s
in contact with the battery so now let’s put the screws back in place
we also aren’t going to need these
we also aren’t going to need these keyring pieces so let’s get rid of those
let’s actually split this wire all the
let’s actually split this wire all the way down so we’ve got two separate wires
way down so we’ve got two separate wires
way down so we’ve got two separate wires coming out of our battery pack
coming out of our battery pack
coming out of our battery pack let’s pull off the ends of these wires
let’s pull off the ends of these wires
let’s pull off the ends of these wires and see if touching the ends of our led
and see if touching the ends of our led
and see if touching the ends of our led will get it to light up and go you have

acrylic paint and pour about half of it into this water now let’s stir that up
into this water now let’s stir that up
into this water now let’s stir that up until it’s all dissolved into the water
at this point if we use our blacklight
at this point if we use our blacklight and hold up against the water turned on
and hold up against the water turned on
and hold up against the water turned on we should be able to see it picking up

down tight as you can see as I’m
down tight as you can see as I’m screwing it on it’s actually squishing
screwing it on it’s actually squishing
screwing it on it’s actually squishing some extra liquid out perfect
there we go nice and tight and by doing
there we go nice and tight and by doing that we minimize the amount of bubbles
that we minimize the amount of bubbles
that we minimize the amount of bubbles that show up there’s still a couple of
that show up there’s still a couple of
