Pop Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I want to pour some of these jigs but don't want the eyes that are in the mold. I can only think of 2 ways to eliminate them. One would be to fill in the small holes in the mold that make the eyes but can't decide the best material, or to file off the eyes after they are poured. For those who pour these jigs, and eliminate the eyes, what do you do to accomplish this. Thanks for your help. Pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 It depends on what size and how many you are pouring. If you are pouring under 1oz then I would just fire up a dremel and grind the eyes on the jig flush, the only way I would modify the mold is if I was going to pour a bunch at one time, that makes for a lot of grinding so it would be easier to modify the mold. As for the modification all you really need to do if fill in the eye socket, you can do it permanently by using JB Weld or you can use JB Weld High Temp Epoxy Putty for a temporary mod. The only problem with the putty is after 20 pours or so it may pop out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Makes sense if I don't do too many, to file off the eyes. I'll wait and see how many I get into and if I start doing any quantity, I'll fill in the eyes. Pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ING Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 What the reason is for eliminating of the eyes? Are they creating some obstacles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkman Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 permit me to answer or at least why I did it, if you want to add your own eyes for example 3d eyes the "eye bump" get in the way, I liked having a smooth surface in order to put what ever type of eye I wanted to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
