Translucent Microswitch Buttons*Taking Pre-Orders*

Why not throw on a small dab of matte medium under the button?  It is a gel, so you can put a nice thin coat on it.  It'll harden, and should never "heal" itself.

I've used it for a lot of things, including "waves" on a train layout I have and the wave peaks have been standing up for 5 years now with no problems.

It's translucent, buy varying thickness of the application should alter the light.  Once I get my order in (I'm dead broke :( ) I'll give it a try.

How'd the sandblasting work?

I can't believe I am reading this  ;)

I remember when Shawnzilla got his first blue prototype in, you guys were saying it didn't really look clear and was too hazy for your tastes.

Now you are saying they are too clear and need to be hazed up a bit?  ;D

You guys are a fickle bunch indeed.  :P

You can take a clear button and make it hazy.  You cannot take a hazy button and make it clear...
