Backup camera monitor?

For the controller, you could put that in a freezer bag and stretch that tight (just tight enough to eliminate wrinkles, but not so tight to tear it) over the back of the controller and instant mold. Just add foil on the outside of the bag. The freezer bag should keep the resin off the controller.

when ever i make molds, i use evercoat short hair body filler and mask the item with auto masking tape. once the filler turns rubbery, after like 7-9 mins i pull the item and ta da, no problems, no foil, no mess.


many changes in the making
my favorite part about doing bodywork,.......... bondo bugers

^^^you really like using filler where u shouldnnt, lol. may make the shape but wont hold up too long. well, depending on what its supoporting, but i wouldnt reccommend that

i personally would tape the controller off completely with painters tape, then tightly wrap it in foil also. then you can glass the back and sides to make your mold. once u get 1 layer of glass around it and its pretty hard, you can pull out the controller and add more glass to the back of the mold.

if u look in my pics thread in P&M i have a shot of my 3.5" LCD in the left vent of the bezel.

if you do more than just your basic fiberglass projects, i recommend buying this stuff. its cheap enough to warrant putting a few bucks down on it, and its a life saver for times like this when you need to make a mold and not ruin the plug. ive got a can here and its worth its weight in gold! just a light mist works wonders.....
