About the navigation light, or lens, making tool. When 'plunge molding' your clear plastic into the hole will the finished item come out with a curved smooth surface, is it hit-or-miss, or is there a technique for making each one with a curved surface?

Eduard has something similar on the edges of their newer frets- I've simply cut off a bit of clear sprue, heated it carefully over a candle flame and smooshed it down over the teardrop aperture. Hit or miss? Well, yes, but as it only takes a minute or so per try- and the material is basically a byproduct, I'd say this type of thing works really well. I'm a big fan of PK Tinyland stuff- glad to see new products from them.
