Good Day Robert, The handle is not supposed to be separated from this item. It is supposed to have to molten lead poured into it with a release agent after the lead has cooled.

I recently purchased this mold. It says 5 pounds but, after filling to the brim most of my weights were around 3.971. I weighed them digitally. All two of them. The handle broke off while tapping on the mold with a wood block.
I contacted divers supply and Tammie was very kind and helpful. It’s a shame people weren’t up to her standards at Trident.
When I received this mold there was no literature. Having poured a lot of lead over the years and using different types of molds, one thing was consistent. Using a lighter or candle to blacken the inside of the mold creating a barrier preventing the lead from sticking and adding a little wax to work as a flux.
After Tammie reached out to Trident and explained what happened, they wouldn’t stand behind their product. Apparently, I overheated the mold because it was black inside. No, the lead was poured in. It wasn’t used as a melting pot. According to Trident, I was supposed to pre treat the mold in the oven before using. Again, there was no literature included. Secondly the response to it only being a four pound mold was it’s a 4-5 pound mold depending on what metal is used. My question is, WHAT ELSE WILL YOU POUR INTO A DIVE WEIGHT MOLD BESIDE LEAD!!!???
Trident doesn’t stand behind their product.
Trident offered me a discount on a second mold. Yeah, no thanks. Why should I buy a product when the first one broke? Why was there no literature included with this purchase?
It’s also cast aluminum. I got two weights out of it. Either buy the weights or use a different mold manufacturer.

Works well, handle is not heat insulted though so obviously gets very hot and stays hot for some time. If the mould was a little deeper you could make fewer bigger weights. Very good value though as the moulds for heavier weights cost very much more.
