Not a bad idea!!! I will have to go to Kinko's or something to print off that page with the cloverleaf template, though...my printer is shot right now....we'll see!
Thanks, Dakota!

: : let the resin cure without baking it, if you can. It turned mine all lumpy and I spent HOURS trying to sand it down smooth. I also baked the last layer of resin and it bubbled the paint underneath. So...my project did not turn out too well. I think I am going to just do what someone else (was it you?) did and just buy the lighter from Zippo and put the last layer of resin over the silkscreen job, let it cure by itself, and be done with it! Same principal, MUCH less work!

: : Just my thoughts on it. And no I am NOT taking pics of my crappy lighter project!!!!;-)
: : Later ya'll!

: Another alternitive would be when you get to the drawing the clover part, just glue the clover template on then cover with a layer of resin.
: Cheers,

: : : I have finally gathered all the materials needed to construct the lighter, going by your instructions.....but I suck at this sort of thing, so we'll see...

: : : I believe in an earlier post you wanted pics for your site...if it comes out ok, I'll post ya some of mine....

: : : May be a few days, though, as I am working the old 4 day/12 hour shift the rest of this week...

: : : See ya!
