Just make open pour molds, it's what i did for 3 different size tails of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I definitely need to make a multi cavity, that would be clutch if I can get away with a one piece mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I melt old plastic and use it to pour into the mold, I'm able to pull my tails outs in my open pour molds. Although my tells are about almost half an inch thick maybe less Albooboo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
