[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 13003, member: 46"] Hi Folks, There are several videos on YouTube of folks creating their own custom IEM molds from a couple different kinds of compounds Example: [media=youtube]Rnmwllxh_Xg[/media] I have a couple of bands that I work with regularly where they are having trouble getting/maintaining seals with generic IEM buds (Shure SE112 and SE215), regardless of trying different types of rubber and foam sleeves. The cost of custom buds from companies like Westone, Ultimate Ears etc is beyond what they can/are willing to afford. I'm talking about around 10 custom IEM's in this case, which is a significant cost to a band. Obviously this isn't ideal, but I wondered if anyone here had first hand experience with DIY molds, or has come across bands using them and has any advice they can offer as to whether or not it is a complete waste of time. I know it's not the best plan, but it's also not my money we are talking about.... Thanks in advance for any thoughts..... [/QUOTE]
