Howdy, folks, I have some "Feather Lite" resin from a prop shop that I was considering (with other materials) to cast a drop box enclosure, OR to simply just fill in my boxes. --------- Has anyone tried this yet? If so, any advice? I'm also curious if the drop box can or should be flat/flush on the back, or if it needs some kind of groove along the inner edge like some of the inserts. If I do this, and it works, and I do the casting method, I could cast a bunch for folks. Thanks!

Supplies: Flat sheet of plastic or any material you prefer to use for the drop box covers Foam Sew on Velcro Sticky Velcro Glue (any brand CA glue works well) Rotary Tool (Dremel), Scissors, or Box Cutter Pencil Needle and Thread (optional) You can use a variety of materials for the covers. I used a spare sheet of ABS plastic provided from my armor kit. (1) Measure the length and width of the drop box. (2) Draw two rectangles on your drop box cover material from the measurements. (3) Cut out the covers. (4) Cut out 2 rectangles from 1/2 inch foam using the measurements. I used 1 inch thick foam and cut one rectangle then VERY CAREFULLY cut that vertically in half to make two 1/2 inch thick rectangles. (5) Loosely sew a piece of Velcro to the foam. If you sew too strong the foam will compress. You can glue the Velcro to the foam if you prefer. (6) Glue the foam to the covers. (7) Apply sticky Velcro to the inside of the drop boxes. (8) Place the covers in the boxes. Done!
