I took the liberty of creating all the paths for you.All you need do now is download the XCF file and use map to gradient on each layer with your color choices of bg and fg.

I also created each letter with separate pieces so you can erase as needed to make the gradient look better.
XCF is attached.

Thanks tons Rod but for some reason I cannot get it to stroke with the gradient the way you have. :gaah

Try running the script "decorations>neon" with just the fg and bg colors.Then colorize them.
I bet if you run the script with the "incandescent" gradient it will work.
Your gradient isn't shaded correctly for a single tube effect.Look at the "incandescent" gradient and you will see the difference.

If you take one red edge off your gradient it will look like one tube.

It's the same result Ofnut. I also tried with the paths that Rod so kindly provided and it's still the same. This is what I get...

I've tried every adjustment for the gradients and paths that I can imagine and always get the same result.

This look like you are using StrokePath and not Decorate/Neon, ie you are using the red circles instead of the green one:

The green one should lead you to a dialog like this:

Here is an example of your gradient edited.All red removed from the right edge.

Oh I've been using the Decorate/Neon the whole time. It was just the dynamics that were forcing the effect I have been getting.
