Great looking mold. I ordered one last Thursday and received it today. Tom's service is great!

That's what I have done to sort of get the second mold for a bargain, especially if it's a partial experiment thing, low expected volume thing. What I have found is I have better luck with rejects if both cavities are similar in size as far as casting from both cavities at the same time goes. I have both the Hudson molds, but have thought of ordering to fiddle with diameters. Maybe some day for the 38 for me.

I'm also very happy with accurate molfs. I've had him make a few for me and they cast beautiful.

Accurate makes an excellent mold, based on the several I own. However, I find dual cavity molds a PITA to use and go for the smaller, lighter single-cavity molds. Also prefer brass as they hold the heat much better than aluminum and not much difference in cost, though gets the weight back up some amount.

All my Accurate molds are brass and I like them for holding heat. I'll put up with a bit of extra weight. Tom is a magician at getting them right. I have several custom molds from drawings I sent and he hits them exactly every time. He must live in the shop because the turnaround is usually fast. Thanks, ratseye
