How to make a new dial cover tutorial
#13

It's to bad you don't like useing the oven, it's the best way as it heats the plastic pretty evenly and you can tell when it is ready to form and it forms very well that way...with a bit of practice. Thats why skylights,etc are done that way by business's. Actually it wouldn't work for trying to do 10 at a time, they cool off pretty quickly you couldn't get them all setup in their molds fast enough. But, you should do it the way you are comfortable I spose... That being said, your dial cover does look good. Icon_thumbup
