I currently have 1 mold built and in the process of building 2 more, I have the material to prob build 15 more molds, but question is what would everyone want most sleeves if I could cast them, or the molds where you could cast your own, that being said if you want sleeves what length do you want give me your feed back, as I am getting ready to order silicone, and should have some samples cast by next weekend or later next week.
 
I'd say most want the convenience of made sleeves. 4-6" would likely be good for most applications and allow guys to cut them to size.
 
that is about what I was thinking, I have 3 molds made up, I am going to be calling smooth on Monday and see about the silicone , I plan to go to lowes and get material to make at least 7 molds the cure time on the 00-20 that you recommended is 4 hours and the pot time is about 30 mins.
 
I just took what remaining 1 inch low pressure pvc the way it is looking we will have about 13 to 15 molds, so we will be looking at about 50 60 sleeves a week, if I do one casting a day,

I am thinking in the 4 to 6 dollar range plus shipping, depends on how many a batch of silicone will make,
 
I just ordered a trial size of the silicone, ecoflex 00-020, should be here later in the week, I will get some cast over the following weekend, and will be looking for a few testers.

This will be VERY affordable compared to what is currently offered elsewhere. :cool:
 
yeah I know, I know I payed I think 16 17 dollars for 2 plus shipping, and that price will only be given the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] members, anyone else I will up it a few dollars.

You can put me on your list as a tester Bandit. Be glad to try it out and give you some feedback
 
just a standard width for now, but I think what I have will be a little thicker sleeve,
 
thanks it should be sometime next week, silicone is on the way, I am in the process of building 10 7 inch molds, hey I am also going to be working on a silicone all day stretch device as well
 
the middle of the mold is a 1 1/2 shorter, and pour the silicone, so it caps the end, and then you put a string in the end while the silicone is wet.
