| Gel Frames: What I did for gel frame holders is this. Go to a lumber of drywall store and get a section of j-mold or the cornering stuff. This is that thin sheet metal stuff. Unfortunatly they usually only sold in 8ft sections and you only need about four inches a light. So you will have a massive supply for about two dollars. Here's what you do: 1.Cut jmold or cornering into four inch pieces. Bend the way you need it. 2. Drill holes in the pieces and in the can. Remember, the holes on the can must line up with the pieces, so I suggest placing the piece where you want it on the can and then drill both at the same time. 3. Using rivets, attach the pieces to the can. There you go. They should be flimsable enough so you can slide a gel frame in there. I used source four black fiber gel frames which cost about $2 and they are sort of flexible. Below is a picture of a finished product. It's not painted yet, but it helped decorate my front door for halloween! Oh yes, I also drilled a few holes right behind the gel frame, because a lot of heat still comes out the front and this will make the gels last longer and the fixtures cooler. |
