11	include the 3mm LEDs, resistors, tape, heatshrink, or wires. These items must be purchased elsewhere. We used the RL3-R5014, 5000mcd Red LED

22	</strong>After removing the protective covering from the parts, lightly sand them using 400 grit sandpaper. Make circular motions until the
23	parts appear opaque. This will make the entire part glow when illuminated.</font></td>

32	</strong>We used white 1/8" wide tape to fully surround the edges of the parts. This prevents the light from escaping through the edges,
33	and reflects the light back into the part. You can probably use white paint as well.</font>
