  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Hey @webmost, did you say your looking for a 48 ring mold?
Yeah, I don't like those wing nut molds AT ALL. I can hardly imagine a less handy way of cinching your mold up.
Plus, they don't have a rounded end for a cap.
Pluplus, they don't have a flange or whatchamacallit where the one side of the mold fits into the other.

Ideally, I hope for a mold with a cam latch like my fecto mold, a rounded end on each slot, and those mold flanges.

At the very least, since I've never seen another with a handy cam latch, I'd settle for the round ends and flanges; then use a C clamp, or score some of those clamping latches from McMaster Carr.

some day....
