    OK so yesterday I used hi temp red rtv to reattach the wooden handle on my Lee 6 cav mold and it works very well now.

    A Lil dab'll do ya right, like tooth paste.

    I use any old silicone caulk.

    I finally put high temperature silicone on it, so far there are no more problems.

    J-B Weld ... 2 part , slow setting ,
    Do Not use fast settin , 5 min, type or Foamy Gorilla Glue .

    Use old school 2 part J-B Weld ... trust me on this ... other glues can't take the Heat !

    tI used JB Weld to repair a seam leak on a radiator back when there was only one JB Weld. It lasted about 30 minutes so I cleaned it out and soft soldered the seam. That lasted for years.
    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.

    I've always use Elmer's glue or carpenters glue. Just squeeze some in the holes and tap the wood back on . Don't need fancy glue or epoxy.
