Yeah buddy, that looks great.
It all looks great. I'm impressed.
Now you have to think about slush casting some washer bottles for the fusie crowd.

He's probably got them attached to each of his colour sample casts for future customer selection.

Come on are you kidding... his wife is an art teacher. If he didn't save it she'd take him to the wood shed.

You say that like it's a bad thing
Yes definitely, fortunately my math translated into the larger pour of the lens from the samples.
Just like making two cakes. . . Your lens really does look good enough to eat.

Interesting concept. I presume the wash bottles are clear, it would work if it was a solid color but the irregular interior would look rather funky in a clear bottle.

This is almost beyond description to compliment you Mike.
simply jaw dropping is all I can come up with.

They make a lot of plastic tanks using a similar method called "slush molding" or "rotational molding" where they use a heated mold. I believe that is the method they used to make the washer bottle.
When the reproduction washer bottles hit the market, they were always a brighter white color than the original and less translucent. Now I wonder if the thickness was the reason for that... or as you mention, perhaps to hide the inconsistency.
