Anyone used LMI body mold with a martin kit?

Looking at body molds as maybe something nice to have. Prices are all over if you include spreaders. LMI's design looks very good, but I wonder if theirs are standard size and would work fine with a Blues Creek or StewMack dreadnought kit.
Anyone tried?

It may work but the spreader is useless. A spreader is used and should be in the guitar till the top and back are placed. So this will not come out through the sound hole. It is also MDF but should be ok. If you have to add some to the sides you can always add a bit at the joints as the tail wedge and neck .

I have gotten 8 molds, 4 guitar and 4 ukulele from Blues Creek Guitars, They are by far the highest quality of any that I have seen. I could not see buying any of the others.
