Guess I never posted it. Here is a thread like minacopy was referring to where I modded a mold. Using the same concept as in thread find you a solid piece of wire, nail or I’ve even used the wire hanger thing from a do it mold cut to your liking and place in mold where you want the wire weed guard. Carefully close and then beat with a rubber mallet or you some type of vise, c clamp or whatever. Will put a perfect imprint. Then take a dremel tool with bit and attacment (Attachment not really needed) and open up the imprint more if needed.
