no been using the same handles on them since i have the mould. Even w handle remover the halfs are sticking. something changed since the last time I cast w them until the problem started. I just really need to spend more time w them. I plan on taking them w me to Va. and have a mold maker friend of mine look at them. I do like JT's moulds and prices and if I cant figure it out. i will order a new one. from him. ?? if brass molds are left in the open position while cooling is it possible could the warp? I may have left them open while cooling
