Title: Vise Exacticator
Post by: Let It Bleed on June 23, 2005, 06:10:48 PM: I'm just looking for some information on this. I've become horribly picky over my thumb inserts lately and was wondering if this may be the way to go. Do pro shops even carry this or would I have to order from Vise directly?
Anything is appreciated
Thanks

On edit: Here is a link to Vise's home page...I could have given a link straight to the Exacticator, but I thought the guys would enjoy the home page better. To actually find the Exacticator (which they give little info on) look under Thumb Inserts

I prefer the use of Ultimate "Wizard" 1 hour plug for the inserts, hands down the best quick plug on the market. Don't even bother with Donkee quick plug, it shrinks and cracks.

If you want, I can do the mold for you and make you some inserts. I'll need the ball for a day, and once I have the mold, I can make infinite inserts. PM me if you're interested and I'll tell you the costs.

Telling you, Ultimate > all. Feels identical to a slug.

Title: Re: Vise Exacticator
Post by: BrunsNick on June 24, 2005, 12:42:33 PM: I dunno, distributors vary.

You'll also need the casing for putting the thumb mold in, we just use the ones we got from the Donkee kit. You'd be better off ordering direct from VISE, and see if they have the 1 1/8, 1 1/4, and 1 3/8 casings to make the inserts.

The Wizard plug runs about 110 bucks for 2 gallons.
