Nice work. Seems you are branching out !

What resin will you use at the beginning ?

That's a good question. I don't have a PP yet, so limited. I might try to sell a couple of these molds. I have a new local source of HDPE, Delrin, UHMW and Teflon. I am wondering if some guys here might be interested if they have the right measurements...

Might be a tight fit in a pressure pot. Looks like the material is 3/4" stock. That makes the mold 7" square, but the diagonal a poofteenth more than 9-7/8".

I'm operating from memory, but I think the inside diameter of a 2.5 gal PP is a little more than 9". I'll check mine tonight to verify.

Brian thank for checking that for me.

Please let me know.
