Pretty cool although if i did that with my IE8's i'm quite sure the putty would get into the mash guard and ruin them . I will just wait till i get my ACS T1's

that method is peculiar, and so the guy.
 
wonder how much they isolate...

Why wouldn't you put the IEMs in your ear first?  Shoving them into the putty just warrants filling the sound tube up with putty.

I've tried this, one times too many to be quite honest. Long story short, save your cash, you aren't missing much IMO.

^maybe its the wrong putty, there is the putty kind of epoxy, someone should try that and report back his experience.

Yes bob, I have one of those putty that comes in two colors, you mix them and 10 minutes after it gets hard. It would create an impressive seal.

It's the very same silicone putty Radian uses, as well as most (if not all) other IDY impression kit available online. I've owned two professional impression ktis (with plastic syringe and oto blocks inclusive), as well as the Radians. Again, I personally recommend saving for professional impressions. Call around, get a few quotes. Some here have managed professional impressions with local audiologists for as low as $20. The only discrepancy with the DIY is that you'll definitely need some careful post impression modifications/alterations before they're comfortable enough to be worn for extended periods of time, and practically speaking, be put to use. Bare in mind that simply plugging the ear with the silicone mix, and shoving the earphones into the mix while it's curing does NOT produce good results! The angle of the earphones nozzle/bore must be VERY carefully aligned so that once the impression has cured, and the earphone is removed, the bore angle aligns properly with the ear canal. It takes multiple attempts, unless you've got better luck than many, and in turn, it's best left to the professionals IMO. If anything, It's much, much easier to instead devise the following:
