Have any of you do-it-yourselfers worked with Kydex/Concealex much?

I was thinking about how to execute my ultralight Opalec Newbeam based headlamp idea and it occurred to me I could fabricate a pivoting mount for the Newbeam module/head out of Kydex/Concealex. It might take some tinkering, but I understand Kydex/Concealex is reasonable easy to work with a heat gun and a pair of cotton gloves.

Without going into too much detail, the idea is to make a pivoting holder for the head and a holder for a CR223 battery pack (CR223s are cheap at www.cheapbatteries.com) out of Kydex. Add a headband, some wire and a switch and . . .
