    from crack to crack is where it's still connected. i've tried to get a jewlers screwdriver inbetween it, but it won't get inbetween the lense and the housing. it'll just crack what's around it.

        will heating eBay corners in the oven cause them to melt? since they are a cheaper plastic?

            hah, this isn't as easy as it looks.


            are you willing to custom blackhouse some, and sell? or offer a custom blackhousing service or something?

                    hey sorry about resurrecting an old thread like this but I have a question before I black house my corners. Can I use a heat gun instead of an oven for this? the gun goes up to 1000 degrees but I'll use a lower setting so I don't melt them
                    Being normal is probably the lamest thing you can try to be
