G.T.,

It has been a long time for me. After getting out of the Army, I went to work for a company as a mechaincal engineer and one of my responsiblities was the Molding Shop. we had 6 Thermoset machines and 4 Thermoplastic machines. The Thermoplastics was for electical wire plug mostly with PVC. The Thermosets were for Bakelite electrical base plates and then Thermoset molded cases. Most of the molds were 4 or 6 cavity type. We also had problems with extraction of the cases and I can fully understand the problems of removing a Luger grip from the mold. I be the also used a mold release agent to help because of all the fine checkering on the grip. Ah, sweet memories.
