Hard Plastic Settings

I tried it way back when and the results were underwhelming

Light switch cover questions

Yes…and it melted. I found one that was made of laser safe material and ran a test on it. The laser caramelized the white plastic and the fan blew it lightly so it set in ~slight~ waves. It was interesting, and possibly useful if you were doing a design that took that into account, but I moved onto wood ones. They just looked better. [IMG_20181226_211726786]

OTOH, spray painting it with a colour, and then engraving off just the colour looks brilliant.

Spray paint, old light switch cover and a repeating pattern

Thank you for this! I got around to doing it and now I have the best light switch cover a hockey fan could ask for [image] I ended up doing two passes using @ovm.steve’s instructions - guessing I laid the spray paint on a little thick Sealed with a spray polyurethane and up on the wall! The only downside is realizing that the switch itself was installed a touch too deeply into the wall so I (almost ?) cracked the case trying to get the screws to catch.
