: : You could use clear resin to pour into molds, you can also mix in colors. I used to make my own paper weights with the stuff.
: So, let's say you had a trigger joystick like on Tron, but black as in MACH 3. How do you make a Plaster of Paris mold into which to pour clear resin and/or mix colors?
: If this procedure is relatively cheap and/or easy, I believe this will be the way to go!!!
: Thanks a lot, and eagerly awaiting your next reply.
It's been a looong time since I worked with resin, the molds I used were glass which I got from a hobby store. I also made resin balls and added coloring to them, they were like large marbles. I don't know how to make a homemade mold though.
