This is a brand new mold. I broke it in today for the first time. Works like a dream. I casted a heck of a lot of boolites. Now the question is the pivot bold for the sprue plate cam loose. Ok it took a while but I wasn't ready to stop casting but I heard you should wait until the mold is cool to tighten it up. Is there a way to keep it from loosening? Kinda like locktite. I know the head would soften the blue stuff and really don't want to use the red. Is there something else I can use to keep it tight and be able to remove it if needed?

thanks
