Drew,

We have built much larger molds with epoxy tooling, however, I was referring
to the limits of our injection molding machines 'IN HOUSE'. We could build
any size mold we want, however the biggest molder we have in house is a 300
ton press, and all other work must be molded outside.

But as far as size, I havn't heard of a limit yet that can't be done with
epoxy tooling.
