Recommendation for a Blank Mold

[Pen Zen]

I am looking to try my hand at pen blank casting and would like to buy some molds. I plan to do some tube in casting as well as making some blanks to be drilled. I anticipate starting with alumilite but will probably try some PR also.

Does anybody have any recommendations for molds. Right now I would prefer to buy something rather than trying to make my own.

Thank you.

I just ordered my first molds from Maneater Crafts. I got the combination mold that allows you to cast tube in blanks of all sizes in the same mold and also full blanks.

The HDPE mold from Man Eater crafts is top notch. I've put hundreds of blanks through mine without a hiccup. The silicone molds eventually wear out, killed my first one in about 100 blanks.

It's a great mold, I like it. Mold release is your friend!!

That Maneater combination mold is impressive looking. I think I will start with one of those. I wish I could afford enough of them to fill the pressure pot. Thanks to those responding for the help.

When looking at the cost of individual molds for different pen kits, the Maneater molds came out cheaper. Life expectancy beyond 100 blanks sealed the deal.
