Looks like they just apply the bands to the lighter and then cover it with a type of clear polymer resin/epoxy/lacquer
(The CAO one looks like it's just paint. Notice the flaked paint on the hinge.)

For any questions you guys may have, send me email at architeuthis@inbox.com and I'll be happy to answer them...

And cheapest prices for the blazer insert i've found are here: http://www.lightersandpapers.com/bla...-lighters.html

I think Zippo is building their own torch insert in the near future also...

Thanks,
Squid

I've been toying with this idea for a while now. It's nice to see the work you've done. For myself I'd like to see a more simple design maybe a custom painted ronson with a single band or 2-3 bands cut to look like a single band. Good luck with your project.
