they came out OK, it was fairly easy and not as frustrating as previous attempts at this...I will add the steps w/some pics...but I used powerpoint to get the image the way that I wanted it....printed it, cut it out and taped it to the plug body with scotch tape...applied the latex mold...you can use a brush but it will clog up as you go along so something small and blunt is better, like the opposite side of a fine paintbrush depending on the detail...let each coat dry...several coats.. 3 or 4....powder it a little before removing so it doesn't stick to itself...I imagine you can make all sorts of patterns by printing them from images.....
