    You might try the trick I use to remove tubes. I put the tube and mandrel in a bucket of water and move it back in forth. Once a little water gets between the plastic and the rod it comes off super easy.

    Powder coat

    Candy powder coats are fairly thin. It also depends on how thick you apply it. I use epoxy powder from a local guy and It feels thinner than the usual stuff.

    I may have a extra mold. Let me try it and see how it functions next week. Not going to be cheap though.

    The 6/0 7/0 and 8/0 is easy to bend. I cut the end finger off glove. Stick the bend and point in the glove. Put cutters on the eye and bend forward. The bottom part of the cutter goes on the shank and the top goes against the eye.

    I'm doing a custom 10 cavity 6inch tube mold. It will have 4 sets of 10 fixed rods. That might make it worth doing them yourself. You could probably do more cavities if it's 4 inch.

    Those are awesome.

    I would make sure your mold has drop out mold release. Also leave the mold on the top of the pot over the lead to heat it up. The main issue is likely the temp of the mold. I have some very difficult collars to fill and generally if the pots turned all the way up and the pots hot I dont have any issues.
  19. andy1976
    Likely temp/time issue in my opinion. Get a oven thermometer.

    The best thing to do would be coat it with https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1010189154/frankford-arsenal-drop-out-bullet-mold-release-agent-and-lube-6-oz-aerosol. I would heat the mold so it's warm and coat it a few times.

    If you're referring to mine it's a regular cnc mold. Don't want to do the spincast thing but I want to do a lot in a day.
  22. andy1976
    Sorry haven't been on. SolidWorks. It will have a channel running across the top connecting them all so they can be removed together.

    I'm working on a 40 cavity mold mold. I think I can keep up with a spin caster but time will tell.

    Thank you Smalljaw. Most guys are using a 5 inch canyon plastics gitzit. I've been making the nontappered doit tube head with a 90 degree thin wire 5/0 hook and it works. I was planning on using the 32786 60 degree flipping hook on this mold. Its similar in size to the thinner wire 5/0 ive been using. Also was planning on being able to use both in the mold if possible.
  25. andy1976
    Any suggestion for a longer shank hook?
