GanFindX 2 PCS (4.5KG Au-245ML) Pure Graphite Ingot Molds for Melting Casting Refining Gold Silver Metal Aluminum Copper Brass with Packing Box

First things first…. The graphite molds I got are EXACTLY as described and look to be of excellent quality. Haven’t used them yet, but when I do if it performs poorly I will update…. I expect no issues!!!Now for the second thing…. On first delivery the larger ingot mold was cracked. Looked to be possibly from poor handling during shipping. I contacted the company through Amazon letting them know along with some pics……Now when I say they went ABOVE & BEYOND!!! I am not exaggerating. They responded very quickly. They immediately sought to send out another to me free of charge…. AS WELL AS SEND ME A FREE EXTRA ONE OF A DIFFERENT SIZE!!! Every step of the way they communicated to make sure I received and had no other issues!!!I would not hesitate for a second to do business again with Waterlife on the Amazon store!!!Thank you very much for the awesome shopping experience. Keep up the good work @waterlife!!!

Well, it does!

Looks well made does have a small chip on bottom left corner, but it’s on the outside so it shouldn’t affect the mold. Here’s a picture for our imperial users. Hope this helps.

High quality mold, I haven’t had any issues using it for aluminum ingots. Customer service was exemplary! The seller wants you to be happy with what you’ve purchased. I definitely recommend.

Works well in homemade of prebuilt furnaces. Has handle obsidian and high carbon steel, good release, good forms.

I saw that a lot of the negative reviews for these molds stemmed from there being some confusion on title of the product vs the actual selection in the drop-down menu. I'm not sure if the company updated their page before I ordered, but it seemed fairly well documented and I got the exact pair of molds I was expecting to get.Just be sure to read the product page and dropdown selection and you shouldn't have a problem.Ok, on to the molds, they are nicely machined (not cast or formed) graphite blocks. I've had a few different molds and these rank near the top for the quality and the finish of the mold. The interior finish is really smooth and while you can see the toolpath, there aren't any ridges or chatter marks from the milling tool that transfer over to the ingot. This set also comes in a nice little plastic case that helps protect them. Great inexpensive set of quality molds.

I thought I'd be getting several of these in one package for my tinkerer son, but it wound up being only one. Luckily it was the larger one that he had hoped for, so that worked out for him. It arrived in good condition, seems to be of good quality, and will be great to tinker with once fire season is over. I don't anticipate any issues, but if any come up, I'll update this review.

Read the description, although it "looks" like your getting 5 molds, you are only buying 2. Deceiving....
