Here's my V2 molded handle. I went through a couple of revisions. I was first going to spray the thing in latex insulating foam, but to stabilize it, I had to wrap it in plastic wrap, which prevented it from curing. Plus it was like shaving cream (and dried almost like shaving cream), so I decided to skip the hardware store and go to the art store. Got some self-drying modeling clay (wet hands are key), and with some trimming and smoothing, ended up with this (I've smoothed out some more imperfections and made indentations for the main body since). I have some rubber-based mold powder that I am going to use to make a reusable mold for encasing the handle, followed by a spraying of either duplicolor or 3m (I've heard this his better, but I'll compare myself) overcoat (after painting the thing, since after the overcoat, the seams will be sealed) to finish.
For those who actually read this thing, I will be encasing all my spare remote handles, so I'll have 1 or 2 extras in the next few weeks that I'll be giving away
