Any idea how to make a red lens for spotlight???

[BJanecke]

I have a spotlight but i need to get a red lens for it, and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to make one with some type of red tape or something. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks

If you can find some Dychem, it is a layout fluid used by machinists, it works very well. Brush on a coat and let it dry, if it's not dark enough just put another coat on. Works great!

where would they sell that, like what store could i buy that from???

Check anyplace that sells welding supplies. I think they also call it "lay out fluid" or something like that.

Some of the auto parts stores sell a tape that you can repair broken tail lights on a car with. A roll is only about $5 and there is enough to do a couple of lights. I did one of my spotlights with it and it worked great.

Blue will not work......red only.

Grainger sells Dykem and you can possibly order it online from them at grainger.com.

Hope this helps!

Take care and God Bless,

Any color will work. We use Red, White, Blue, and amber and have done well with all.

You can also find colored plexieglass at craft stores,cut them out to fit your lite......RickH2

In a pinch, I've used red Cellophane from a gift wrap bag. Cut to fit and then wrap camo duct tape to hold it on your light.

IF YOUR IN A PINCH---ORANGE SURVEYORS TAPE WORKS.. BUT U HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG LIGHT TO GET ANY DISTANCE -- PLUS ITS REMOVEABLE SO U DONT RUIN YOUR LIGHT.

OR FOR $12 BUCKS AT WALMART U CAN GET A LIGHT WITH REMOVEABLE AMBER AND RED LENS

LOOK IN SPORTSMAN'S GUIDE ALSO SOME GOOD DEALS THERE TOO.

You can also use the transparent, colored report covers you would find in the school supply section. you can get a pack of about 6 different colors for about a buck. Rhino
