While we have a few members interested in casting of late i thought i would show the other moulds i use when casting .. With the big square one i use i can get 5 good sized pen blanks and one good for a streamline/slimline, compared to just four from these moulds ..

I really think I should get a sample of each blank you produce Jim, strictly for Quality Control checks of course .... :whistling:

I have often thought why not block cast especially if you want to make more than one alike, good planning Jim. The ones you show using 4 up allow individual special effects more readily.

I got one of the moulds from a guy on here who sold up his gear,which is the same as the one i bought from here .. If you make a searc somewhere on here the guy joined the forums after i had made a thread complaining about his postal charges .. Turned out they were slightly better than the cart on his webby calculated ..
