DIY Lights

This is basically a small tin that houses a flat silicone mold of different sized lights. As I said it's flat and you add a drop or 2 of clear UV resin to the imprint and because it's silicone it will pull back if you don't have enough resin on the imprint so make sure you have at least a moderate loading on the imprint. It is neccessary to make sure it extends right to the out side edge of the imprint using tooth pick gently . You don't want to ruin the imprint then hit it with the UV light and a minute late you have a new light with very fine detail.







I did my best to get the best pic, but this is as good as I get.

Now thats a neat idea. Those Pinkies, being old moulds just had solid discs for head light and spotlight lenses. Something like this would have added a new level.

Excellent. Does it mention how many casts you can get before it degrades?

No that would be shooting themselves in the foot, so it's a matter of using and waiting to see what that point is.
Bit of a trick to make sure there are no air bubbles in the lenses as well. Plus you have to buy the UV resin and a uv light too.
