Mould storage preference...

[Idaho Sharpshooter]

Do any of you leave your handles on the moulds after you are finished casting with them?

I always do. Too lazy to remove them t the time and the mould is still hot. I don't like handling hot moulds.

I always leave mine on. Don't know why just the way I do it. I have heard some guys say that for extended storage they were afraid their handles would rust where they attach to the mold.

Every time I place an order to Midway, I put at least 1 set of Lee 6 cavity handles in the cart. I will probably never have a set for each of my 50 or so molds, but I want a set for all my favorite ones anyway.

[Bret4207]

Yup. Leave them on, too hot to fool with.

I do one on the ones I use most. I usually take them off of the ones I just use a few times per year.

I find my 6 cavity LEE handle's don't fit in 50 cal can's so I take them off.
I put VCI in with them as well as silica gel

I only cast with one mold at a time. I always take the handles off after the mold cools. It takes up less storage room that way.

[MT Gianni]

Yep. Part of my prep time while the pot is heating is moving handles to the molds I will use if they do not now have them on.

I always figured I was just too cheap to buy a dozen or two sets of handles...

I only have 2 sets of Lee handles. I just leave them on the mould when I am done casting. Ext time I cast I decide what mould I am using and move the handles while the pot is heating. I have plenty of time while it heats.
I may get a third set of handles but rarely do I even use 2 moulds during a casting session, three would be almost produce question.

Handles on, plastic storage box with rust chips in it. Each mold is stuck in a sock or sweatshirt sleeve to prevent banging together.

I leave mine on. Aluminum doesnt rust so why bother ?
