Tagger, I wasn't trying to be a wiseguy and if it came off that way I apologise. Sometimes my thoughts don't translate too well when I type them out and my intentions get lost somewhere. Anyhow, I think lucite is an acrylic but I'm not too sure. If you want to know if it'll work for lips, cut a piece off, take it outside, and hit it with a hammer(please wear safety goggles). If it doesn't shatter, it will probably be fine for lips. I tried it with the stuff I have and the hammer marks it up but doesn't break it. Even the peice I left in the snow overnight survived the beatings. If your lucite doesn't work out, let me know and I'll send you some of the polycarbonate I have.
FlukinUki, I like the idea about the wires. I will give that a shot.
Striperknight, I can't seem to sand the lips without scratching up where the plug doesn't cover. I tried and I couldn't seem to get it right(that's why I tried the holes). If there's a trick to it I'd love to know.
I like this kind of dialog, it helps me(and other beginners like me) learn what makes these things tick. I am new at plug building and have really learned alot from all of you. I am really having fun!
