John,
intresting, I use a variation on the same theme, to date I melt the chopped pieces in a tin can in the oven, pressing down the mass with a piece of wood to remove air bubbles. I use the tin can to form the slug of plastic which I either press the handle in whilst it is semi molten or drill a hole in the cooled block to mount it.
i think a two piece hinged mould would be interesting to try!
Regards, Matthew.

I made two HDPE billets today.
There has always been a problem getting the plastic hot enough without some of it scorching so I did it a bit differently today. I heated the plastic until it was mostly up to temperature then packed it into the steel moulds but instead of putting the pressure on and letting it cool I put the steel moulds in the oven for another 45 minutes or so before moving to the press and putting the squeeze on. Perfect results, the best I have ever done!
