Getting ready to place an ASM order for my first customs. The only thing that really isn't wrapped up is the mold.

Basically, I think I'm down to the Hourglass and the A-Mold because I see that they have a couple advantages over the others.

Hourglass has 1" inlays, which is nice. A-Mold is going to have the 44mm coming out, which is nice as well.

How do you all feel about pairing an A-Mold 44mm with your non-Amold set (Hourglass in my case), about how it would look?

I'm leaning toward hourglass because I like the larger inlay.

Also, I like the textured inlays.. Is that something you ask for specifically, or does it depend on the mold you choose?

Thanks

Textured inlays come on all chips EXCEPT FDL, but they're not making those any more, so it's of no consequence.

I'm not a fan of mixing, but I do understand your interest in 1" inlays. I've got hourglass, and fdl's (which actually had an oversized inlay) which is why I'm going A-mold for the new set. I guess it comes down to whether or not 1" is really important to you if you want to keep the set on one mold.

Well, I love the HH mold, love the H mold, love the hourglass mold (haven't seen that one in person yet), and know nothing of the A mold either.

But I have no problem mixing a 44mm chip into my HH mold sets at all. That said, I personally would not order an entire set of A mold chips, only because I don't like it as much as the other three.

Actually I don't think H-mold inlays are textured.

H-mold inlays are indeed textured, but as was said earlier, some are not as much as others.

Most of mine are textured, some less so and some not.

I will be mixing molds when I add the 44mm chips. I don't think it's that big of a deal. Would I get HH's in 44mm instead? Yup. but just because they're not HH's isn't going to stop me from adding 44mm to my sets.

The 44mm will apparently be smooth inlays, just fyi.
