    I made an oven vulcanizer. Two plates of 1/2 inch aluminum about two
    inches larger in each direction than your mold frame. One had holes
    in each corner that bolts were put through with nuts to hold them in
    place, the other had holes that would allow it to slip easily all the
    way down to the other plate. Use washers and wing nuts on each bolt
    to apply the pressure, I used channel lock type pliers that could
    grip the aluminum plate firmly after the ten minute heating of the
    mold so I could use pliers to tighten the wing nut to get the right
    pressure
