Ok Lincs 1963 I got the same putty as you and set about making my own ------ still no good for me.
When it was still wet and "putty like" it was great (wot cant ere you) I let it set for 30 mins just to be sure and poped them out, left them to cure longer 2 hours and put back in and they just dont cut out enough sound - hardly any, if I just press on them a little then that is perfect and how they need to be and is how they were when wet. I did do them with my mouth slightly open with me teath clamped on a stabilo chisle point highlighter pen (a green one) bout the size of a winston churchill cigar. I read that this was the best way as it slightly opened the ear canal. I tried my helmet on hoping that it would press on them but it didnt help.
Can anyone verify if the proper earplug kit results in a softer finished plug as mine are bendy but not super soft. Or can anyone tell me if the Macks Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs are sticky and liable to catch fluff and stuff.
My stupid ears are doing my head in
