As mentioned in my previous post, I dislike making levers. Nonethless, control posts need levers so I make them. Of course, naked pieces of brass aren't too friendly on the fingers, even after filing down some of the rough snag-ends. So the brass levers need handles. I use balls of Magic-Sculpt which I shape and smooth into finger-friendly handles. Then I stick them on the ends of the levers.
Upside? Seems to work pretty well. The texture is comfortable on the finger or thumb.
Downside? Kinda irregular-looking and ugly.
Better ideas anyone?
