Dual purpose mould


Recommended Posts

Hi,  I am making 2 parts.  1 part is a long mostly cylindrical.  The other part is just the top half of the first part but it has its own unique bottom.  I would like to be able to make a good quality mould for the long part,  and I would like to make just the top part in that same mould from time to time.  
 

The mould is a four-part mould with two sides, a top and a bottom.  So for the smaller part, I would need to add a bottom into the longer mould and secure it somehow. I have ideas about that, but I’m wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of information about using one mould for two different purposes if there is any

thanks!

@Wayne Taylor might have some ideas.
