Scuba Mold Actual Info
This is my actual info on using these molds. Here are some tips that should help
1. Heat the mold a cold mold is going to stick
2. When the mold is hot spray it with WD40, this is my trick not a manufacturer recommendation, please remember it is fish oil based so it will flame up when you spray it
3. Make sure you are pouring on a flat surface.
4. The little tab on these molds is for moving it around. It will break if you pick up a full mold and smack it, Don't even try returning it for this!
5. A Large pair of channel locks works well to tap the lead out hold the mold upside down and just tap it down on the block of wood.
6. Wheel weights are not always lead, they are mainly zinc google about it.
7. Saying all this if you break a mold I do not want to hear it. The molds are made inexpensively but hold up just fine if you cracked it that was from improper use I am sorry if that offends some of you but it is what it is.
I hope this helps, John
