New DO-IT Mold

[sayre315]

are you talking about the red RTV silicone they use for gaskets?

[pondhopper]

Yes , I use it for all kinds of stuff even made some plastics molds with it . If you use it for that add eight or ten drops of water and stir heck out of it. Makes it set up remarkably fast.

Well finally got the photo's of the molds the one is the horsehead showing how it's cut both sides and not a whole lot of space between the two sides. If you had it trimmed you'd be taking off the bottom edge of the slot where the crane swivels go. The ball no collar (notice the very small area for the eye of the hook. thats what I had suggested making the eyelet hole longer so if you got hooks with a longer wire which I showed in a previous picture. This mold also could use some metal trimmed off as a size 1 hook doens't allow the mold to close.



I tried loading the mold with hooks and swivels and it really doesn't like to be closed with the way the hooks are angled. Wish they were straight up and down like the pony head mold.
