Cleaning MP brass mold surfaces - seam starting to appear

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

This is the first time I’ve heard mention of locking mold handles. I’d like to hear more about them. Are they available commercially? Expensive?

I saw "Hot Mould" and "Tongue " and immediately had this mental picture of ...sticking your tongue on the hot mould !!!
Then the word "depressor" appeared and I thought ... whew , that's better .

Man, twisted minds think alike! That’s exactly what I thought!

Eeeegads!

Those look pretty neat. I may just have to consider getting a pair. Which brand do you use?

You are never too old to learn something new! I have been casting for 40+ years, and this is the first time I have heard about this......will definitely look into it. Thanks for sharing!

Cabine Tree handles, is what I use. IIRC, he sold the patent, years ago but the ones on the supplied links are similar.

I don't use locking handles, I've just read about them.
They solve a problem that I do not have.
When my ulnar tendonitis gets worse, then maybe.

I think those locking handles should take a lot of the fatigue out of casting.

Looks easier, but maybe a bit slower?

JonB, lots of neat looking widgets on the cowboybullets site. Tempting...

They can be..................the handles are not light weight. I avoid using them with 4 cavity brass moulds. Perfect for two cavity brass or up to four cavity iron. After that they become counterproductive.
