G4 Neck plug replacements (Live tests-Results 10-8-12)

[octocorn]

when you decide to start selling these, count me in as a buyer.  I just went to work on my customs I've been ignoring and I'm missing two neck plugs. No idea where they went, lol

Sounds good! I have 4 made that I am testing.  So far the biggest problem has been scoring when I inserted them.  No breakage yet.  I think I am almost ready to send a few out for further tests.  Please if I pm you about testing one be totally honest in your review.  They won't do folks any good if they aren't up to par.

Ok guys ready for live tests now.  It will take some time to get them all shipped out.  Right now I am limiting my testers to a few US people to save on shipping costs.

good luck with the test, I forgot to get my test for plastic melting done

No worries! This kind of trial and error thing takes way too much time. 

In the end I hope these will be suitable for use but I don't know if they will be.  The real question will be is if they can be a replacement for broken plugs.  So the structure has to be at least equally strong as the plastic plugs.  I haven't had any breaks but I have been careful with them in my tests.  And I have noted scoring from pliers.  But even if it turns out to be a waste at least we will know. 

Btw the new mold solution I got is 1,000 times better.  Sculpey brand mold maker is ok for half molds but it is not durable.  I do not recommend it. New mold maker is castin' craft  easy mold brand.  Costs like $20 but soooo much better.

I don't break em too much anymore, but there are the occasional snaps. Will these fit fillies as well? I suppose I would buy a 5 pack or so for back ups to have on hand depending on price. What price were you thinking?

[Sarahlacewing]

Honestly the only plugs I have replicated have been the standard size. I haven't been able to get a filly or a princess mold to compare the two. Anyone who has a clean plug of these two that could offer a comparison pic I'd love to see if there is significant size difference.

As far as cost I think they will cost around .50-1.00 to make.

I'm still intrigued by these. I really think you're on to something
