Graphite Mold (Type A , B , C and D)
The mold made of graphite and specially designed for exothermic weld to obtain a nice welding ''nugget'' in any of various forms “Adequate
maintenance can prolong life-time of the mold more than 50 times used.”
Remember to clean the mold by gently rubbing the slag from the mold using a mold scraper and cleaning brush.

Fit the conductor and rod/ tape snugly into yhe mold.
Set the graphite mold and conductor / metal in a flat stable position.
Lock the mold together tightly using the handle clamp.

Put the metal retaining disk into the mold.
Placed it at the bottom of the crucible for holding the welding material until the reaction takes place.
Placed it at the bottom of the crucible for holding the welding material until the reaction takes place.
Check to make sure the disk is in its correct position.
Gently pour in the recommended size (gm) of the welding powder into the crucible / mold.
Step 8
Gently tap at the base of the container against the mold so that it will loosen the ''Starting Powder'' at the base of the plastic container.
Slowly pour traces (2/3) of the ''Starting Powder'' onto the surface of the mold. ( below the lid)

Step 8
Close the mold lid.
Use the Flint Ignitor to ignite the Starting powder at the lid opening to start the exothermic process.
The welding process is on going.
Caution ! Please wait for the mold to cool down sufficiently.
Do NOT pour water on to the mold.
Do NOT pour water on to the mold.
Unlock the clamp.
You have completed a Good welding connection.
Remember to clean the mold by gently rubbing the slag from the mold using a mold scraper and cleaning brush.
You are ready for the next connection.
