I was actually kinda teasing you about the "orium" designation. I've been around long enough to know basically how you roll, and you've been kind enough to offer a few hours of playing with the molds before. I just haven't had the chance to take you up on it.
The storebought painted jigs seem to react with the plastics the most. I went with nail polish because I can buy wild colors for a buck and it sticks tight. Seems as durable as the store stuff, and is less likely to go gummy in the same box as plastics.
I make traditional wooden bows, so I know all about not wanting to ruin a perfectly good hobby by trying to make money on it.

I'd like to come over for a craft day some time, but for now, I'll copy what see here from you and others using cheap materials and a lot of lateral thinking. I caught a trout at Deercreek last year on a blingy dollar store barrette, like you use on your daughter's hair.
I'm the kind that would try to make my own molds...[crazy].
