industrial-type 
 suppliers. The molds run fifty bucks more or less and the shots are $4-5. 
You 
 need a separate mold for each type of connection. You can spend a hundred 
 bucks or more real easy on this stuff but it's what the pros use.

While working at a utility company I experimented with slightly modifying the 
molds because they did not have one to fit the exact diameter ground rod. The 
mold was made of carbon and the existing holes could be easly drilled larger 
That experimant went fine and and went into field use.
