I got a box in the mail a while back full of laser cut blanks that were missing the little glue-in bits. That's why they were free, apparently. I had been sitting on the idea to do this for quite a while, and finally got the idea far enough along to execute. I packed the cutouts with Pearlex and soaked them in thin CA. Padded it up with a lot of medium CA to bring it to the needed thickness and it turned like a dream. Had a few voids left in it that are filled in now, but they're still kinda noticeable. Thanks to the shape of the cutouts, there was no right way to hold it that didn't result in a bunch of dripping and lost material during the process. I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I still have a good few blanks left to play with if I ever need to do something like this again.
