QWORK Casting Mold, Skull Graphite Casting Ingot Mold Crucible Mould for Melting Casting Refining Gold Silver Metal Aluminum Copper Brass (60mm x 40mm)

Bake your mold at 400f for one hour. This step removes moisture that is in the mold. I dropped this mold before the first cast but after I had baked it. It survived a three foot drop onto concrete. I then used it to make a brass cast.It worked perfectly. I had no breakage in the mold.

Good products and speedy delivery

I got about 7 to 10 pours from this and the eye part broke off during a pour. I was kinda frustrated because I really like this mold as do my friends and customers and came here to complain. Then I saw the price and realized that it hung in there really well for a rookie using an outdoor forge and pouring hot silver for less than TEN BUCKS!!! Most other molds are starting around $45 so I'm actually impressed. Cool mold.

Product did exactly what it was designed to do. I would definitely reorder this again. Make sure to preheat item prior to use. let cool naturally to remove all possible moisture. If you skip this step, mold may break upon adding molten metal.

It's smaller than what I expected but cool design and good price. I'll be making a bunch of these.

I see a lot of complaint about them breaking, but I have poured at least 40 skulls out of this one mould and it shows no signs of wear yet. I clean it with a bristle brush and I also preheat the mould first.

I like that it was the perfect size. Perfect little gold skull mold

These are great for metalcasting when most graphite molds run you $50 or so and these are a bargain. But these is an old adage about "You get what you pay for"Over time I've had three of these and all have fallen to the same fate. Either the teeth or the eye sockets eventually break off. Meaning you can still cast with them, but it won't be as good looking, or they'll look like they need dentures. Of the three I got around a dozen castings out of each before some part of the inside would chip off.

Well made.

The media could not be loaded. Firstly I just want to say, I was expecting this to be much bigger. However if this is the size you are looking for it will be perfect.That being said, even though I thought it would be larger it still works perfectly fine, no issues using it and nothing gets stuck inside the mold. Delivery was fast and the item was exactly as pictured.I recommend this to anyone looking to make something other than just bars.

I used to about three times and then it broke

I did 9 or 10 pours of aluminum so far and no issue. Seems quality enough for the price. Be sure to pre heat. I'm guessing the buyers who complained about mold failure and breakage didn't.

Too small
