    Default Silicone Mould

    G'day blokes and blokettes
    I made this mould 2 weeks ago, I know it looks rough and dirty but it has cast quite a few pens and I'm a hopeless housekeeper. It makes Diva, Sierra, B/click Sierra, Vertex and Longwood. It works like a charm. Very flexible but strong. I'll be making some more for other kits, when I sell some pens .

    I haven't read anywhere where it says that the molds have to be spotless to me its as long as they work

    I only have a few of this kind of mold.....I find the little 'nipples' that hold the tube will tear after awhile and need to have some fixing done to them. BTW, Aquarium Sealer works great at fixing them(just doesn't last forever).

    Looks good to me. I still have to make my first one. Just deciding on the type of pen mould I need.

    hi mate that mold looks great but what did you use to make it, i have been looking for stuff to make it out of and what did you use for the tube holders when making it.
