BassBull Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Good Morning.... Would like to buy this mold so I could replace using (I make them myself) punch skirts. First ...

Also what is the good our bad using them. Thanks a head of time !!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Steve, I used to use this mold for the punch skirts as well. I have since changed to using the Spire jig molds, as they have more of a size selection. Also note: if you buy the Spire mold, you will have to cut a slot at the top of each cavity on both mold halves. I like the spire mold much better. The draw backs to the slip jig mold is that you can only pour one cavity at a time. Do not attempt to pour 2 or even 3 cavities per side, as you will never pull out the pull pin. I also found that you need to get that mold really hot, and you must use mold release spray, as some of the cavities, don't want to fill all the way. The slip jig cavities are parallel with the mold. I do not like this set-up, because you don't get as consistent pours, as you would if the cavities were vertical. Also for the pull pin, I would replace the .063 steel pin with a stainless steel one. The stainless steel one seems to slide out of the cavity better than steel does. Other than that, the mold pours well and works for its intended purpose. These are just some of the quirks I found with the mold and why I switched. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
