Lee and Peter,

    My solution for cutting molds is halfway between yours. I use a
    spring clamp (originally for woodworking) modified to have sharp
    serrated teeth. I've also seen a heavy duty car jumper cable clamp
    used. A piece of chain provides an adjustable length anchor. It
    clamps to the back of mold with more security than just a hook but
    without the extra arms and et cetera every where. Concerning mold
    temperature... the hot ones DO warp, are not fun to cut, and you
    can't pull a wax til they cool down anyways.
