I've molded rubber parts from cut-up windshield washer tubing with heat and
pressure. I put a piece of 60/40 solder on the mold and heated it until the
solder melted, then squeezed the mold in the vise and let it cool.


That is intriguing!

Your mold was on the outside of the tubing?
How did you avoid kinking?
Multiple stranded wires stuffed in the I.D.?
