Go to a large art or craft store. You can get low temperature moldable plastics that you bake to harden. Another option is the Plasticraft clear plastic used for making paper weights. You will need to provide the mold, but you can end up with quite interesting shapes and they can be clear or tinted. They also won't have the issue of sagging in high heat conditions. The stuff in normally nonconductive but you can make it conductive by adding conductive stuff to it. I've directly embedded circuits in the stuff. Just don't turn on the circuit till it has had a chance to fully cool. The stuff heats up some when curing. -- | Bryan Andersen || http://www.nerdvest.com | | Buzzwords are like annoying little flies that deserve to be swatted. | | "Linux, the OS Microsoft doesn't want you to know about.". | | -Bryan Andersen | -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to
