making you own knobs

[Rob]

Well, u know, I was thinking, since the knobs are supposed to be that shiny
silver anyway, why not try getting some very thin foil and pressing it into
the mold before you pour the resin?

I guess, too, you could take something like an old VCR or something and
grind up the plastic and melt it down and pour it as well, which might
actually be a better idea, albeit messy and way more alchemy than I would
prlly want to deal with.
