I would suggest filling the entire light bulb with hot glue or clear epoxy, and then breaking off the glass part (to leave a solid glue bulb) that way it is much more durable

[Yonatan24]

ShakeTheFuture did that with Instamorph

but then it could oveerheat

[berky93]

That's a good point. Maybe it would be better to coat the inside of the bulb with a thick layer of the epoxy

[imthatguy1125]

 that would work

There are two problems, one, not enough pictures or details. How do we know this works anyway. Two, the picture on step 2 isn't even yours. Give credit to that person.

1) i agree, give credit to the owner of the pic in step 2 2) how will it not work?

[mg0930mg]

I didn't say it did not work. I said how do we know? This could and probably does work. I just want to see more pictures...
