I have had some of the lugs break on of my new moulds and was ready to bin them and make some out of silicone but hit on this idea with the nozzles they are a push fit so that when the resin is set they can be pulled out they may need some vaseline on them to stop the resin sticking to them just got to see if it works then I will cut a bit off of them
