When I made my old 280Hz Round Tractrix horns, I just made a plug that was the space inside the horn and then pulled parts of that. I does work that way, but the angle of the throat coupled with the rigidity of the plug makes releasing the parts very difficult.I'm getting started on a new mould that will begin by making an actual part and then pulling moulds off of that (1 piece for the horn flare and 2 for the outer shell). The laminated moulds have a bit of give and make releasing far easier.
How's things in Indiana (?)
