1.) The connection Mould is designed to last for an average of 60 to 100 connections. This will vary according to the care given the mould during use. Graphite Mould is made of high quality graphite suitable for high quality Weld work and can be used for several times. 2.) Designed to withstand high temperatures produced from the exothermic weld. 3.) Requires pre-heating with a butane torch to ensure the Graphite mould is totally dry before every first joint regardless new or used Graphite mould. Otherwise, the mould may crack or break or a bad joint Produced or cuts down the life span of the mould. 4.) Always ensure that the conductors fits snugly and sections of Graphite mould are clamped tightly with the handle clamp to avoid leakage of weld metal. Leakage will produced a bad joint and cuts down the life span of the Graphite mould. 5.) After every joint produced, always remove the slag with a recommended Graphite mould scrapper, then brush off the smaller particles with a proper mould cleaning brush. 6.) Caution : Do not use any other hard object and brush that would damage the Graphite mould. 7.) Always keep the mould away from water or damn areas while it is hot. Otherwise, the Graphite mould may crack or break. 8.) Do not over-heat the mould the throughout too many joints. Always either allow to rest or use a spare mould. Otherwise, the mould may crack or break or a bad joint produced or cuts down the life span of the Graphite mould.
