There are different bases products use, and some will stick better than others, depending on the surface material (metal, plastic, wood). That's where my comment comes from when I mentioned SEM.

If you prep the surface properly, and use a specific adhesive, I would imagine the foil would give great results. But that method seems time consuming, so goes back to the time/money thing.

Could try to find a good used piece, and just replace it. I know there are some that market restored pieces and that insert is a popular piece. Simple core fee and swap the part. That's an option not sure I mentioned.

All good comments and makes sense to me.

For me, I have lots of time, try to spend as little as possible, and the reward is all about learning, which is often about failing and trying again...
