MR KNOW IT ALL KIND OF Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 YOU DA MAN NATHAN!!! I have been lookin forever for a different selection.. heck I have tried to make my own.. but I always fail!!! I cant figure out what they use to make the 3 D effect.. I know its usually holographic tape and a black dot.. but whenever I try putting epoxy over the dot and cutting it out with a hole punch later it cracks on me.. Anyone have a good idea for what to use as the glass part of the eye.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmail Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Rookie - if you go to MST (tutorials) there is one there and several 'related topics', which are full of brainstormed ideas. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodieb8 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 we pre drill eye holes with a countersink. after painting before clear coating we press in the eyes. when epoxied they will never move. hope this helps out folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedHed Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Super people to deal with. They do sell on ebay and they will ship the eyes without the posts. The 4.5 do not come with the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedHed Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Got my order on Monday. Had requested no posts and they all had posts – no big deal – lop off easily with flush cutters. Ordered the 4.5 mm and 6 mm animal multi packs. They are all very nice like the trans best. Excellent business transaction – very friendly.
