I've followed your mould job, & I always thought that if I was going to go through all the work to create a new part cast from a mould, that I would have done the oposite of what you did.....

instead of casting the stock part to modify after.... I would have modified the original to what you needed it to be, then make a mold of that...... the part that comes out of the mold is the finished new product...... & duplicatable if the mold holds up..... I think you could weld a bezel togeather easily enough really & eliminate the mold all togeather, abs is actually easy to work with... if you need a hand with the bezel pm me....

Yeah, in retrospect that's what I should have done.

But I think I agree, this bezel would be best served by scratch building with ABS.

I'm thinking for raw stock I would need ABS bar stock, about 1/2" x 1/8" or so, layered up to join the two main pieces together.. and maybe ABS pellets for the acetone goop.

Not sure where to source this all from, though.. hobby store ABS is usually smaller in scale.
