Odd question of the day, what can I melt down to make a pourable light pipe?
MacGyver:
I need to basically submerge my CPO LED rings in some sort of translucent material, that can be sanded down smooth with the rest of the panel, so when my overlay goes over it, it will be smooth, but also light up the overlay.
So, the real question is; what is meltable (not a word), and see through, and sandable (also not a real word)?
Just for the record, white German Bondo is not translucent. :banghead:
Nephasth:
Hot glue?
2 part clear epoxy?
selfie:
Acrifix 192 is a UV cured "glue" that dries into acrylic(perspex) that can be sanded and polished back to clear
PL1:
Have you looked at clear casting resin?
Several tips here.

Dude, that's awesome. I never thought of hot glue. :) I will have to do a test and see how well it works. I was like, what's none conductive; resin, super-glue, Elmer's glue, Bondo, everything, but never thought of hot glue, plus I think I have a lot of it in a drawer. Double plus it doesn't permanently entomb the LED rings forever, I can always heat it back up and pull them out (in theory). :cheers:
I report back with pictures an results.
