    Sharpshooter molds... gotta be a better handle solution!

    The mold really needs to be ripping hot to work well, which is fine.

    The problem, my hand starts to get ripping hot too. I am wearing fireman's gloves.

    Has anyone come up a better solution?

    ove-gloves. They do a good job of keeping your hands comfortable. They are sold individually, get two.

    I just attached a couple foot or a little less long lengths of 1"x2" on instead of the stock handles. Make one slightly shorter then the other makes one hand operation and opening easier. Slide back hand so its just holding the longer one and then flip the shorter one with your thumb to open.
