RE: Best molding technics?
The best way to get a quality part is to make a plug, pull a mold off it, and vacuum form a fuse into the mold halves. Takes lots of time and pretty expensive for a single part. But once you make a mold, you can make dozens, or even hundreds of parts in very Little time and have replacements for your jet, or sell them to your buddies, or even sell them on E-Bay. There are lots of good threads here that cover the process, but if you need anything or have any questions let me know and I'll be happy to help.
