 I got this cool knife yesterday from Ebay. It was $12.50 and free shipping. It was very stable to use and cut up a mold quickly. These pieces will go through my old crank sausage grinder.  Here is a cut away of a hood mold. |

  I decided to finally turn my attention to grinding up my loser molds. I tried with one of those hand crank table top jobs but my poor old whimpy arm and elbow could not do it. I bought an electric sausage grinder and it does a pretty good job. It's still a slow process. If I put too much in it will quit like I did! Also since it is not grinding anything with liquid in it the grinding part will get hot. I also had to wrap this cut off baggy around it and secure it with a few bread wrapper ties. Small pieces will fling out onto the floor. |

That's a wicked looking blade, Greg!
So, do you then use the ground-up mold granules as filler in a new mold, or do you sell it to Taco Bell for taco-filling? ;D

Well....Taco Bell might actually be interested in it if it was brown! That blade is a nasty one. Kind of reminds of the big blade swinging back and forth and lowering a notch to James Wests throat as he and Artemus were tied down and in a pickle. I sure did like Wild Wild West in the 60's! Now that was entertainment. Robert Conrad was really good with most of his characters.
It does not take a lot of this fill to thicken a batch of silicone. It's going to take awhile to use it up too.
