Molded-In-Place Grommets

[rgsparber]

Grommets to insulate wires from metal plates come in many shapes and sizes. I never had the one I needed. By molding my own, this problem has been solved.

I've watched the guys at the boat shop near me make custom gaskets from silicone using a similar process. They make a form from wood, cover it with saran wrap. lay down silicone in the form, then cover it with saran wrap and smooth it out. When the silicone cures they remove the plastic and they've got durable custom gaskets for sealing things on a boat.

Cool project. As someone else who often wrestles with grommet problems, I look forward to ongoing developments.
