Pretty much all the old CMD moulds have now been replaced, we only 
ever use an old one here and there for casting up "specials" that 
aren't in the current range. Generally nitrile (black rubber) moulds 
are good for several hundred spins, sometimes many times more that 
this, but it all depends on undercuts and stuff.
