Sure Undies I am keen to go down that road with a couple if we can get some sort of buy together. I have been wanting to get a couple for awhile but I just seem to keep putting it off. This might make me get my ass into gear.

Hey Kids!
I just saw this thread revived.. so thought I'd pop in and answer some questions.

Yes, the mini molds are available. Good for those on a budget, new to casting or just
want to try out new kits but don't want to commit to a full mold right away. (or if you're
like me and cast infrequently)

They come in all sorts of flavors. The Click does all the Sierra stuff plus makes the
Sierra Click. I'm not sure about the 'Elegant Button Sierra Click' .. there's so many
versions of the same basic kit that it gets hard to keep track. The Aero mold does
the Australiana, or the smaller Elegant Beauty. But I'm not sure about the Click
version. I didnt' know there was one.
Longwood is no problem, but it is the one with the 3/8" tubes, NOT the 7mm.
(also called the Clicker Ballpoint at Craft supplies) it is over 4" long.
Baron is no problem .. and lately there's been a resurgence of the Jr Gent I, which
also uses the Baron mold. (as compared to the Jr Gent II, which uses the JRGSR)

You can definitely save on postage by bundling it up. I just checked for Ian and the
postage is the same for 3 molds or 10. Over that and it takes another bump up, but
there's a weight limit anyway.

I have mixing bowls ready.. :p

just did a measure up and the difference between the sierra and the Elegant Sierra Button Click is the tube on the click one is 8mm longer uses the same bush though , i measured it to be 56.16mm long and the sierra is only 48.something long .

I'm not really sure now .. there's too many similar names and the kits are not the
same!! That's even worse than the same kit having 10 different names..

If it is just the longer version of the Sierra, then i have that. But once they put the
word 'elegant' in there, the kits can go two different ways, depending on who made it.
I make molds for both the Dayacom and the Berea style Elegant Beauty.. but the
Berea EB is the Sierra. The Dayacom EB is the one that the Australiana is based on.
The Click mold is the same as the Sierra/EB only longer. Mine is 65mm, but then
the molds always leave a little extra room for overhang (feathers, labels etc.)

So .. if this Elegant Sierra Button Click uses the same bushings as a Sierra, then
we're good to go. :-

Bit confusing all this different names for same/similar pens. Is there a place I can look at before I decide to partake or not please.

Charlie do you have a mini that will do the Dayacom stretch that Timberbits and Lau Lau sell?

Sam .. I don't. I'm not even 100% sure what this kit is, because neither website gives
any dimensions for me to compare. But it looks like the Zen/Grand Torino kit that
has been around, and i have had a couple of requests for that mold (just not enough
to justify having the parts made up yet)

If it is the same kit, it wouldn't be much of a 'mini' !!:oo: More like a walking stick! :p

This is just a couple of pics that Ian was looking for, but I can't attach them to PM's

See? I don't just make those strange looking chunks of silicone.. :p

Yes the stretch is the same as the Zen I have both and the difference is the cap on the Zen is magnetically attached where the other is a screw, much better in my opinion.

If you want any measurements just give me a holler

Thanks

Ian that is the type of mould i am after in the first picture Charlie has put up. One I can put worthless wood blanks in to cast. Do they come in either 3/4" or 7/8" size? Will be interested in 2 of those please if either size is possible, 3/4" preferable if that can be done.
Cheers

Thanks to you all for participating in the group buy and I hope you were all happy with the goods ? I havn't seen mine yet as I am still visiting my friend in Brisbane and he has just started major treatment so we are all hoping. Thanks for your best wishes and I shall pass them on.
As for my son sorting out the order all I can say is we had a good laugh over the phone when he was trying to work out what was what lol

I am glad you all got your goods and I look forward to talking to you all in the future.

Cheers. Ian

Hi can anyone help me i am wanting some Molds for a Sierra Pen & The 7mm pens so can someone send me a reply PLEASE....Thankyou

There are 2 makers of silicone moulds that I am aware of.

One is NewLondon88, Charlie, as above. As far as I am aware he doesn't make a 7mm mould anymore, but he does make a Sierra. I have both from him and they work fine.

The other is Fred Wissen, PTownsubbie, also a member of this forum.
He has his own website

Handcrafted Pen and Bottlestopper Blank Molds (http://www.luv2turn.com/siliconemold.html)

I have quite a few of his moulds as well, he makes both types you are after.

For both of these makers, factor in postage cost from the US.

Edit:

Charlie seems to have passed the mould making business on to Wolftat on IAP, see here

Yep.. Neil is now making the ResinSavers. He has the room to do production, and
I can't really fit them in my kitchen anymore. I think he might be adding new ones
too.
