You could probably make a cover that fit over an existing button though. --- End quote --- Right...about the buttons, I was thinking about what Lilwolf was asking about the T2 grenade button |

What about protoplast pellets or sheets for the molding. You can cast your clay molds in this stuff to make a positive mold. It's very rigid after it sits for a while. I use it for custom halloween fangs. It works really well. There are tons of free info on using this stuff on various halloween sites. http://www.wfr-aquaplast.com/tmppcc_default.htm |
