Oh well, that's cool. I've been using the JB Weld metal filler.

I've been meaning to ask if anyone's drilled into JB weld again after it cures on an enclosure, and if there's any special way to do it. Any experience, Jimilee?

@jhaneyzz and @davent - thank you, those will be great for later pedals (I really like that mesh idea!), but I'm WAY too deep on the jewel lens path - got them earlier this week and just trying to figure out the 555 timers and LEDs.

Can't wait to try one out... I'll be posting pics for sure. :-)
After it cures, it's really solid. I've drilled into it, other times, I've relocated the hole entirely.  Sand it down, repaint it, it's good to go.

Nice! Assume that the original is the way to go? Or is there a better option?

Been doing some work on this - getting excited, lol....

That was using 2 yellow LEDs just to be sure the circuit worked, but I'd mix up the colors as needed (blue/red; green/yellow, etc.).

Praying it all works out; knowing it's not gonna be that easy, heheh...

More to come...
