Hey guys,

I am wanting to use a heavier gauge flipping hook for my arkie jig mold, but will have to open my mold up some with a dremmel, has anyone tried this?  Any tips would be good, I just don't want to mess up a new mold.

Thanks

    Yes this is do-able, however I got to the point now that I have a guy that charges to do my molds on a CNC milling machine. You can't beat the quality. A dremel works fine for really small grooves, but it's no CNC machine that makes clean cuts. If you're interested in his name PM me and I will ask him if he is interested.

    One other note, if you screw up your mold well then you have what you have. This guys work is very clean and neat.
