Lets Finish this Split Mold. AND ITS INSANE!

[@graymouse6117]

Clay sculpting tools will make the epoxy shaping much easier- less fighting back and forth. Great job none the less. Love the DIY.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Ha, I have them. Never used them. Completely forgot about em hahah

[@d.holiver]

No words, it was perfect!!! Your videos are definitely an inspiration. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@d.holiver]

And it's a pity here in Brazil that the materials are so expensive, to import them from the USA, we don't even talk about them. kkk

[@jhermoso]

Bro!! What an interesting, well documented and explained project! We were thinking about something like this these days, I will follow the other videos

[@zacksmith1878]

Since the rail is intact, maybe cut a TLR mold in half and experiment with making light bearing holsters with this mold? Would be interesting to see

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Not for this. The mk23 requires an adapter for lights. Which is shown in other videos.

[@zacksmith1878]

@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC ohhh gotcha. Didn’t know that

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

@@zacksmith1878 I'll be doing this again with a multimolds and some flashlights to test more

[@wadejensen6829]

wow, exemplary work there!

[@raykruger5517]

Thank you for all the information you supply

[@giovanimigoto5489]

Que trabalho top demais,toda essa preparação do molde até chegar no final sensacional

[@smu1129]

Suggestion: Once you have it super clean, make a mold box, make a silicone cast and make split molds from that with Alumilite, might even sell on the website.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

I was thinking the same thing. I usually pull a vac with .06 dex and fill that with allumilite.

[@greghavener9373]

Good morning Iggy, Would you give your opinion comparing the hardness of the different fillers and materials when cured, comparing the softness when sanding? It's easy to tear up a mold when sanding mods to the original mold prop. Steel Stick - Water Weld - Epoxy - Blue Gun PU - Palehorse material - Play Dough - Alumilite Polyurethane Good 1/8" MDF - Cabinet Toe Kick (extra stuff from my job) This gun mold has to be the toughest MF you could have demonstrated. It looks awesome, great craftsmanship! Thanks, Greg

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Steel stick ND waterweld are definitely the hardest. Bondo is softer for sure imo. PH uses renshape which is a super soft material. Easy to machine and sand. Blue gun is just epoxy. Easy to manipulate as well.

[@jasonneumann1678]

Great job on this build. A lot of work has gone into it. I did notice though on some of the builds you putty up the rails and on this one you didn't. How come? I am going to have to try and learn how to block out the trigger guard on press forms, but can't wait to get into a vacuum press. I like watching your videos man. Learn something new each time. Always have questions though lol.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

No need to cover these rails as there weren't any slots and the end isn't closed. If that makes sense. It'll help with wobble and still allow a smooth draw.

[@Reloadeez]

I stopped buying molds. 3d print them from stl files in high resolution, then pla lost cast them with aluminum. You can use soda cans for the aluminum, just have to remove slag from the top of crucible before casting. For 3d printed trim jigs I make a relief mold with mold max 60, then cast with urethane resin.

[@solardog]

Amazing. I would like to commission you to create a custom holster. I live in South Korea. Is it possible to ship?

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Is ship world wide. What's the holster?

[@solardog]

@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC Taurus TX-22 Competition model. Please let me know the cost of making the holster and the shipping cost.

[@FoHoCo]

Do you think the difference in retention gap was due to cutting the mold in half. I know the bandsaw blade is not very thick...but, that is some width lost on the mold. Just a thought.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Absolutely. Just wasn't expecting that large of a gap. I probably could get away with not using the 1/8 plates. But worked flawlessly anyways

[@zacksmith1878]

Any chance you can make a video on how you plan to add the RCS/retention drill guides? I imagine making the holster and unfolding it to add them but I’m sure you know a better way. Would be good to know if I get a vac mold that doesn’t have them and I want to add

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

How I do that is similar to the trim jig video. Drill your holes while folded. Unfold and place on the mold. Mark the hole placements. Then your options are drill the points or add nails/pins to the center and cut a little above the form

[@giovanimigoto5489]

Vc ensina muito com seus vídeos,gostaria de saber se vc pode passar as medidas dos parafusos e porcas que vc usa ai ,pode ser?

[@absolutetorquetuning7956]

Only critique or comment i have is . Shouldnt you have added tape or something to build up the thickness before gluing the halved down? This would be to make up for the blade thickness that it lost when cutting in half. And maybe did. Thanks for the video

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

generally with molds that a prepped with 1/4 retention. the 1/4 inch is removed from the center of the firearm. works great!

[@davidpyle7333]

Hey, it stopped raining !

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

only for a day!, woke up today to thunder storms and it was amazing!

[@BannerTrucking2]

Turned out awesome! Well executed. Do you plan to or have you done a video on your laser setup? That's gonna be the next purchase for my shop and want to be able to do kydex and the metal fomis.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

That's the only topic I don't cover. That machine cost me 17k. And 4 years into it and I'm still learning programming.

[@pache3867]

what kind of vacuum pump do you use for holster making? what power should the pump have?

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

I have a 2 stage 12 cfm pump.

[@pache3867]

is a 2 stage pump with 10 cfm enough?

[@pache3867]

or which values ​​are important?

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

@@pache3867 ya that'll work good

[@searchBLOC941]

What about a Cooks or Multi Mold instead of Blue Gun? The pre-blocked versions would be so much faster. And that looks absolutely bitchin, well done.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

I'm doing a multimolds next for that exact reason. The mk23 had zero options for molds other than BG

[@ticoboytico5258]

É fantástico seu trabalho e seus equipamentos, trabalho na confecção de coldres também no meu país é muito difícil e caro conseguir os equipamentos adequados para o trabalho devido as altas taxas de importação, então uso muito essa técnica que você fez pra facilitar o meu trabalho e a qualidade dos meus coldres com máquinas e equipamentos improvisados. Muito bom!!
