hey you guys im in a pickle. i've got plenty of gold to refine but i dont have either the equipment or the skills to pour it up into pretty 10 gram bars!
here's my situation: i've got 3 graphite molds, one 10 gram, one half ouce, and one ounce. they are just 3 graphite blocks with a rectangular indention in each. i've been told by the company that sells them that once heated up enough the gold would spread out to the ends of the mold instead of balling up in the middle like it has. i was skeptical and my skepticism has proven right so far. i've got an acetylene cutting torch and i have gotten these molds almost* white hot but i have had no luck in my pursuits. i've even heated two of them up and sandwiched the gold in the cavity of one while pressing the flat side of the other into it, it barely works and is a two person job, however this is not an option for me since i cant expect someone to be around who wants to fiddle with dangerous hot objects all the time. here is a link to the molds:

so i've come to the conclusion that either:
i do not possess the skills to use the molds correctly and i desperately need someone to help me use them right.
or
these molds are a load of bunk and i need to get my hands on a good 10 gram gold bar pour mold that is completely encased.
so if the latter is correct i would greatly appreciate someone giving me the website or phone number or something of some place that has these as i have had no luck finding any online.
thank you all who have read my short story , and thank you more to those who help! haha i need it
