Also made a sweet seat adjustment handle, mine was gone. Boiled water and melted these plastic clear beads and add black beads mold together after melting then sanded and dipped in rubber dip. Worked like a champ.

Stuff is great, all you do is drop in a scoop of the plastic beads in the boiling water and then add your extra colored beads, just a pinch. The white beads start to melt and turn clear, (colored ones stay their color). After 30-40 seconds it groups together, grab it with a fork and mold it mix in the color evenly (do this well because if you don't it will look fine on outside, but if you sand some away you will get a "tie die" looking mix of color and clear. Then just mold it to close of the shape you want. Then throw it in the frig to cool (for fast cooling) Does'nt take long.
Also if it gets hard while your working it, just throw it back in the hot water and it will soften up again.
I just made a rough shape stuck it on the end of a "chopstick" then fine tuned it on the belt sander.(turning the stick while it cooled so it wouldn't stick to chopstick, then drilled to correct size.) Mine got tie die looking because i didn't mix enough (had forgot that step, been too long) But just ended up rubber dipping to get a solid black. But it works.. You would really have to sand all the way to 3000 grit prob to get the plastic to shine light baklite... Haven't tried that. Basically great for making knobs and what not.
