    Not perfect, but then a lot of things in nature aren't either... one thing I failed to add in the tool list is a pair of scissors to keep trimming the punched mylar off so the hole punch reaches unused sections...

    $2.50 online isn't too bad but the shipping kicks my tail.Besides I Like the satisfaction of making it, then ketchn 'em on what I created. Eye color is endless. way more color combinations than a single user can create in a lifetime..

    I just placed one big order through Lifefly Outdoors and then only had to pay and wait on shipping from China once. This is who Skip and others recommend using.
