I am thinking of making something similar for myself as I can't find commercially made ones that hit all the points on my wish list. A couple of questions. Do you find that your skirting gets pulled back with the ball collar rather than a ring one? It looks like you are hand tying them rather than using bands, do you use an adhesive at all?
Thanks!
Thank you, and yes, I tie all my jigs, some with wire but most with thread and I use a brush on super glue, Loctite to be exact, to seal the thread. I use regular head cement on my hair jigs but when I use it on silicone or rubber skirting, if any gets on the strands it develops a white residue that I don't like so I experimented with some super glues and found the Loctite brush on super glue not only holds well but is thin enough that it penetrates the threads which is what I want. I know where you can get a custom mold done to your specs but unless you have done the cad work yourself it will end costing a lot, my custom molds cost like $140 to cut, it is the cad work of getting the sizes with the right shape that cost the money, figue $700 to $2000 depending on how intricate and how much time it takes to do, a clay mold will make it easier than a drawing.
