Diy molded knobs.

[Guest jan737]

Hi there,Is there somebody who can tell me how to make my own molded knobs, for my Boeing 737NG.I'm thinking about to use polyester resin and a hardener, so that I can mold my own knobs. I have one original knob that I'll use as example and make a print in clay or some thing similair.Any ideas?Kind regardsJan Geurtsen.

Hi Jan,I am hoping of Jose in Argentina the all molds of knobs of MCP 737NG in Putty silicone as it bases and fine silicone to finalize, like the used in the dentists for crown, is very precise.SaludosRafaelMadrid (Spain)
