Has anyone used resin casts before for button and case replacements? I just met a man who has been using liquid glass to fill in the knocked out knots in his woodworking projects. It's incredibly hard, and provides a high gloss finish. While it costs quite a bit, it seems incredibly viable for making custom parts. It's much easier to use than molten aluminum (I've been using aluminum casts for a few months now)
You could simply make a silicone cast of any part you need, then use resin to make a hard clear copy. You only need a release agent to release the original part from the silicone.
I mention this here because it would enable one to chisel out or form negatives in plaster or clay by hand, and then form the positive in a clear resin. I'll try it out myself with some GC remote shells and post the results.
