Nebe, 20 at a time, you were a glutton for punishment, I'd like to see that mold. And yes, thats a great idea of locking the lips in place if I was only doing that one lip type. Thats the nice part of all of this is that there so many different possibilities.
Ec you are seeing it right. The one with the long lip is not a true thru-wire. The lip and wire tie are epoxied in as an assembly. The belly and tail hook attachment are molded in with the ballast. Yes, this is another avenue of possibilities and especially nice for duplicating pieces that have intricate carving.
Painting, I'm planing on starting another thread to throw some things out there.
