    Default Ice cold outside so...


    With it hovering around 15 mean air temp and a feel like of 6degrees, I stayed in and sent an tedius hour being productive work...
    Used a standard single hole punch, ( like for a notebook ), and punched out holographic circles. Placed on doubled over painters tape, so sticky on 2 sides. Then put a strip of black electric tape on a strip of painters tape and used a hollow punch to punch out pupils. Put them on the holographic circles. Used some UVresin,( cheap stuff from Hobby Lobby ), and dropped a drop on each eye to make a 3D eyes that can be used on pill head jigs, or put on the side of soft plastic bodies and then dipped in clear plastic to be kept in place, much like the coating of Sally Hansons on a jig head.
    Tedious, yes, time consuming, yes. But much like an old tune says, But honey, it's COLD outside. And this I can do at my desk where it's warm...Attachment 513495Attachment 513496Attachment 513497Attachment 513498Attachment 513499Name:  20260117_201518.jpg

    Yes Jim, quarter inch. I have some other small hollow punches that came as a set from Harbor Freight as well...probably be doing some of them as well, till it gets a bit warmer it will be piddleing around in the house. Aspirin and Bengay in steady use on my knee. The bone aches where the artificial knee was glued in place.

    I put them in the sun to hard cure for an hour or so then I'll put something over them, like maybe plastic wrap so the tape don't stick them together...
