Cooling Aluminum Molds

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has tried cooling aluminum molds. I was wondering if it would warp the mold if I put it in cold or icy water when it is hot or if I would be able to pour into a very cold mold. The reasons I want to do this are to speed up production, I get one mold really hot and the other reason is to keep the salt/silica/glitter from settling in super soft mixes. Will this affect my aluminum mold?

As long as I am using a hot plate I don't have water issues with plastic. Some of my baits are made in individual tubes. The are customarily dropped into a pan of water to cool the bait.

The bait is pulled out, cropped and the extra plastic put back in the pan. I have only had issues with plastic and microwave ovens.

Just wondering, What exactly are we looking at here and how does it work?
