Well...... got a lot of nice responses back on this topic like the one above. IF.... and I mean IF i thought i could get 200 out of one mold I would give it a try buy I just can't help thinking that someone, somewhere already has this mold and all i need to do if find him (or her) out there... east coast or west coast and begin to barter. I didn't take "pottery" in shop class but I had envisioned that one would make a mold from an existing newly purchased jig head (which would make the cavity) then just reverse the process to make the mold. Are all molds (say DO IT) brand made by hand type carving or somehow made by pouring molten aluminum into a Cavity mold around an existing jig head..... There has got to be a way to get a "DO IT" type mold without silicones and such..... it must be one of those projects that just looks a LOT easier than it really is.....

Thanks to all....
