[sdiy] Plastic Moulding

[Chris CROSSKEY]

The DIY way would be to take the ball out of a roll on deodorant, drill a 
small hole, fill with potting resin of choice, wait for it to set, drill the 
hole again , push a brass insert into it and Robert is the mollusc of your 
choice.......be an odd effect too, with the white ball full of black or 
coloured resin (though you can get white resin too I suppose...
