Custom eyes

Anybody else make there own eyes?
Any size, any color!
I drill a recess the size I want.
Seal, prime and spray the plug.
Paint the eye with fabric paint, lots of colors available including luminous.
Lay plug on side and put some devcon epoxy on to cover, couple of breaths to debubble, let harden and done.

you can take a stainless pin and gather up some 5 minute epoxy on the head of it and spin it until it hardens, then paint it gold. Then dab a little on the center and paint it black, then gather up some more over that to incase it all.. basically you are making a little plastic version of a glass paper weight.

takes alot of time though....

That would be a lot of work and take more patience than I have.
I've made surf candies and rotated them by hand, good way to get carpal tunnel
This is'nt
I do eight at a time and maybe it is a minute apiece working time, lot more than stickons but if you need something different it works.
It's winter and I have time to waste now anyways.
