A while back, I bought two surplus luminescent strips from All 
Electronics to replace the tired OEM one in the Argonaut.  I cut the 
first one to size and wired it in.  It worked for about a year and quit. 
  Now, I want to put in the other one, and there are no more left in 
stock.  Would I be better off to spray the cut edges with something like 
clear Krylon?  I thought that these strips should last for years.  Is 
there a failure mode involved here?  And, I recall that some outfit in 
Britain is making replacement strips.  Are these still available, and if 
so, where?

73,
