Instructions for Fabrication
- Weld components no. 3 and no. 7 together.
- Chamfer the welded edge on the lathe. (Refer to drawings on page 5)

Instructions for Sheet Metal Cutting
-
Cutting and Safety Prep:
- Cut part no. 6 from a thin metal sheet.
- Trim the corners to avoid sharp edges.
-
Assembly:
- Center part no. 6 on part no. 5.
- Secure with four nails.
(Refer to drawings on pages 11-12 for guidance)

Your Wall Peg mold is complete. Insert a new screw into the wooden mold base before each injection to prevent filling the hole with plastic. If it happens, simply drill it out.
To open the mold, remove the bolts, cut the plastic at the entrance, and separate the mold parts. Unscrew the peg from the wooden section to retrieve your peg.
Allow time for cooling due to the plug's volume and ensure the soft screw is positioned correctly to avoid tilting.
The mold accommodates all types of plastic and allows smooth injection.
