[sdiy] Reproducing plastic fader shafts / knobs at home? ~``~

[Casio Rapman]

Thanks for the suggestion.  This looks like a really interesting product 
which might actually work.  Has anyone here used it?  Samples are just under 
$5.

If this stuff works, does anyone have any suggestions about how to make a 
mold from original fader shafts using practical household-friendly 
materials?  Obviously whatever's used needs to have a melting point higher 
than 160F (the melting point of Shapelock).

Thanks!
