[QUOTE="GarryB, post: 279957, member: 6989"] Simple easy and quick to make: Pressure (or vacuum) form with Erkodent (other brands available) hard or hard/soft 2mm foil. Trim with tri cutter to where you want to extend it to (leave it longer at this stage to make it easier) Wax over thermoformed foil the shape you want for the platform Put lab putty over the wax (work it in so you get a close for) When hardened remove putty. Drill two holes where wax platform is (clear acrylic in, air out) Remove wax from foil Sandblast area where acrylic will bond to Put putty matrix back on foil and wax around edge to seal so no ingress of air Mix clear acrylic (Resilit works with Erkodent foils) Pour into "in" hole Make sure when it starts to set you build up a pile so as not to get suchback Put into hydroflask (not too hot so foil will not distort When cured remove, trim and polish We make loads and they are very easy.
