Fiber optics flush with plastic, but need to have convex...

Post by No_6 »

I made a mistake with my painting/fiber optics. During the painting I wound up cutting all the fiber optics flush with the surface (they're fixed inside with epoxy), but I wanted the ends to be convex, bulging out. Is there something I can use to create this effect?

Use a needle or a sharp toothpick, etc. to put a drop of either Micro Krystal Klear or a drop of clear Tamiya acrylic on each FO.
