Thanks John, I'll give it a try (although yeah, the thought of de-tempering the chocolate is a bit intimidating). Cheers, Chris

Well, I picked up some plastic bolts and wing nuts from Home Depot and they seem to hold the two halves together fairly well, but I now have additional challenges ... I've been trying this, but I find the chocolate sets pretty quickly and I don't get a very even coverage of the shells (sometimes it sets so quickly that it doesn't cover the entire shell). Even vigourously shaking the molds doesn't seem to move the chocolate. I'm considering filling the two halves separately, dumping the excess, and trying to put the halves together before they set (and hopefully without losing too much chocolate from the top half). Does anybody have any other advice on a good way to ensure the mold produces nice shells? Cheers, Chris

Thanks very much Kerry, I'll try the chopsticks. One other idea I had was to use some plastic screws and washers to align and seal the two halves together, but that sounds like too much work to do while the chocolate is setting. Thank you for the kind offer of the clips! I'll try a few things and if I don't have any luck I might take you up on that. Best regards, Chris

Hi there, I've just purchased that exact double mold with the dimple, and I'm not sure how to fasten the two parts together for use (it has no magnets). Can somebody familiar with that mold recommend a way to keep the two halves attached and properly aligned? Best Regards, Chris
