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. Wink

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.
