Lens Covers
I have the plugs I made from the wingtips and they are sanded smooth with progressively finer paper up to 1500 grit. I attached the plugs to 3/16 dia. dowel rod. I have clear plastic from my hobby shop and I had an idea to take 2 pieces of plywood 1/8" thick about 4 inches square. I hole sawed 3 inch hole thru each piece and screwed together with wood screws. one piece tapped and the other with clearance holes. I then fit between the wood a piece of plastic that's held also with the screws. I mount this in my vice and use my hobby heat gun to warm plastic and slowly push the plug into it to form my wing tip lens covers. its a bit tricky, you have to have a steady hand and if the plastic is not heated enough you get white stretch marks in it. I only tried twice before I said I think I can do this. Does anyone else have a better way. I have seen the vacuum boxes, a lot of engineering and trial and error. im looking for other idea's just in case.
