EYES

So here's the problem.
Customer wants Alligator mounted with eyes that illuminate. No problem with the illumination.
Have found no eyes that will illuminate. The paint completely blocks light out.
Solution: PAINT MY OWN.
Problem: Finding Blanks in range of 24mm - 30mm
All blanks so far are to small.
Have not tried soaking a normal set of eyes in acetone, but will try to see if that will work.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Use the Van Dykes flint shark eyes. They are available up to 36mm I believe.

Thanks,
They didn't show it one the web, but I did check the catalog, and yes your correct, they do have them up to 36mm. That will work just fine.
