Not really any help finding dams, but we used/use regular modeling clay for this.

  It is pretty cheap, easy, and you can re-use the clay many times.

Modeling clay is ok but it makes a mess of the cutter. I use it for very large holes only..

I have a crap load of Plug Dam boxes I am selling. They are $10 shipped per box.

Email me and I will send you a picture. They are combo dams so they can be used for round or ovals.

Invest in two of the premolded dams. Trust me, you will not regret it. I have tried putty and clay, and it does not work nearly as nice. They are green in color and Jayhawk sales them in different sizes.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.
