[sci.electronics] The FINAL ANSWER for BLUE LED's

	Here is an easy, fun, and inexpensive way to make your
own BLUE LED's.

1) Buy some clear LED's from Digikey.  Even easier, go down the street
to a Radio Shack and buy some.

2)  Go to a hardware store, and buy some blue paint and some thinner
for it.  Make sure the thinner doesn't react with the plastic on
the LED's.

3)  Mix up a thin batch of blue paint.  Use the thinner to do this.

4)  Coat the LED's with a thin coat of thin blue paint.  Allow to
dry.  Make sure the coat isn't too thick.

5)  After your LED's are dry, try selling them to suckers for $50
a pop.

I hope this works for you.  If you make money selling your "blue"
LED's, how about giving me a few $$ :->
