So I bought these cheapo frames and for the life of me couldn't shoot them since they are either too small and/or twist in my hand. I've used polymorph to make bike stands and magnetic knife sheaths in the past. The stuff is amazing since you only need to heat/mold//cool and can reuse it forever. I used hot water to heat mine and a jet lighter to smooth some patched on pieces; I hear a heatgun might work better. The white goes clear when hot so is easy to see what's inside. I also added black and green pigment to some which isn't too hard if you mix it in a plastic bag. I don't know what plastic it is but it reminds me of very strong PET or polypropylene when cool. It can be drilled, but I haven't tried sanding it. It has a very long (5 minutes?) working time so I used an icewater bath to lock in the shapes. You can buy this stuff off ebay/aliexpress and probably arts/craft stores.
Anyway the key to accuracy is to not have a frame twist in your grip and the key to comfort is spreading the load across as much of your hand as possible. This stuff would make the best bicycle grips. Took 1-2 hours to make these 3. Probably 500g of material for all 3 frames. These are not pretty but shoot dramatically better within the first 10 shots and of course the comfort can't be better since they fit my hand exactly. I'm sure these could become my most accurate frames, but I still love my PP Hathcock and Taurus OTT. What's nice is if i'm not happy I can graft on more or heat it all, strip it off, and start over. With a lot of time/patience you could probably make an entire frame out of this material but I prefer fast band attachments which is why I bought these cheapo frames initially.
