Really don’t know!!! I got an Elias nickel plated knife buckle that can shine with the case. Still don’t know but I’m open to ideas.

Lugs welded.

Not at bad idea.

Just applied the resin. At my 4th attempt it didn’t went bad.

Don’t know if I could pull this again, but after the mess I did with the previous runs, I had to clean the dial.

It's normal to have such problems on your first tries. And after many dials, you get them too.

the last time I resin a dial, I gave the resin more time before I start. that made it more easier.
